Enough about curling.

My vote for least entertaining sport would be: FISHING

Beat that for boring (least entertaining)! ... makes curling sound exciting.
Hunting could actually beat that. I don't do either, but at least you can fish when it's warm outside.

My vote was for soccer. I just can't see any thrill of seeing a ball get kicked back and forth. There is no physical play. If someone gets touched, they whine to the officials. At least with baseball, there could be beamings and bench clearing brawls. With soccer, the fans tend to get more violent than the players at least over in Europe.

I find that offensive because there is a lot more than kicking a ball. The skill used is incredible. There is a lot of physical contact. Sure not like football, but more than tennis, golf, swimming, and most other sports.

Why all the hatred for curling? When I was out of work for a month following surgery during the Winter Olympics, I found myself waiting for the next match...granted I was on a good amount of pain pills but I actually enjoyed it. I have since thought of becoming a professional curler and am looking for the remainder of my team. I do have numerous types of brooms and access to rocks of all kinds as well as a decent amount of alcohol. If I were somewhere other than Texas it might just work.

Now there's Fishing and then there's fishin'

If you're fishing you actually expect to catch something, so there's the spirit of the hunt about you...

If you're fishin' then you're in a boat with a line cast, while the portable radio has the baseball game on.....

Some old coworkers fishin' trip involved sneaking a few frozen fish from a previous fishing trip into the cooler, heading to Nevada, and returning with fish in hand. "Hey, look at what we caught!"

For me, fishing and hunting are just the sort of thing you should do instead of watch.

Poker, NASCAR(Curtasy of markwars, Baseball, and....... Bowling!!!
Bowling is very fun to play, but watching it is sooooooo boring. Yeah, it's cool to see guys always hit strikes, but once they get 10 strikes in a row you feel like you're gonna fall asleep. Now I'm *yawn* sleepy just talking about it.

Bowling… good choice for honorable mention … but come on I already posted FISHING. At least the ball rolling down lane offers a little suspense before it hits a pin and watching the pins fly and spin has to be better than…. WATCHING SOME GUY STANDING UP IN A BOAT HOLDING A STICK WAITING FOR A FISH TO BITE.
As far as I can tell the highlight of the show is reeling in a fish…. How exciting can that be or am I missing something?

My vote with out a doubt is still FISHING.

Su_Nan Woo who?
You want to talk about boring? How about waiting for a pitcher to throw the ball for like ten minutes only see him throw a ball. Most of the time when I watch baseball I always find myself screaming, "throw the dang ball already!"

Insanity is the best medicine.
