Is May 2, 2015 the greatest sports day ever?

Well he didn't do that on October 20, 2004 or October 27, 2004 either, yet those are actually the 1a and 1b of greatest sports day ever.

1a made me question reality. 1b was just icing on the cake for that horrible nightmare.

It's a football club founded in the 19th century managed by a guy who likes his teams playing football just like the 19th century.

I don't understand how it's possible for a cured meat to play a game of soccerball, let alone an antiquated version of it. You eurocommies have strange tastes in sports.

Almost 12 years living in the United States and I still don't quite understand the NFL draft, and it's most puzzling when it seems like it's the most socialistic event in sports this side of actual communist countries, yet it's for the most popular sport in the U.S. smh



Now I remember there was a time when you could watch boxing matches for free, even the big ones. All is PPV now. I'll probably be skipping the fight. So for me, no May 2, 2015 is not going to be the greatest day in sports, not by a long shot.

What the hell is a west ham? Is it as good as a black forest ham?

These days a Black Forest ham would have a pretty good chance of beating West Ham. More likely, though, it would be a nil-nil draw and all would agree that a clean sheet was pretty good considering that the Black Forest ham was fighting against relegation, and West Ham was fighting complacency.

Are cricket players that well known outside of the US?

if we are talking about a sports star who is idolised by the largest number of people, tendulkar has a big shout, about a billion indians think he is the greatest thing since bread. but generally no.

You're thinking of Oldham. West Ham is, of course, the western part of the ham, as seen

socialistic?

Yeah- draft order determined mostly by last years records, with the teams that finished last picking first. NFL has the most parity of any league with fastest turnarounds from being a bad team to a good team and vice versa.

Of course, irony is that when the season starts you're still watching a bunch of multimillionaires push around a bunch of other multimillionaires.

I was going to mention Tendulkar. I think he's easily the sportsperson whom the biggest number of people have heard of. Guessing only the most famous footballers (Messi??) would come close.

The OP list missed off something genuinely important: it's the last day of the Championship in England.

Haven't read whole thread but it's also the European rugby cup final which should be awesome.

it seems absurd that it took so long for the competition to come into being, though it would have been difficult in the amateur days.

Other key sporting issues today: the World Snooker semi finals conclude, day 2 of WI v ENG in Barbados, day 2 of the inaugural cycling tour of Yorkshire, and Newcastle are going to try to win a football match.
