SportsFilter: The Saturday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
Why the F would you link to that? Now I'm on fire. Thank you for the thousandth time for starting this site. Am I the only one who thinks the people who exclusively thread-shit on sports at Mefi are deeply flawed individuals who try to hide their issues by pretending to care about Important Things?

Best post in that mefi thread?
Perhaps this post would be causing less confusion if it were about Quidditch.
Heh.

I feel sorry for anyone who paid to watch the Haye-Harrison fight tonight.
Harrison landed 50% of his punches, which is great. Except that he only threw two. This in almost three rounds before he was stopped.
His entire pro career has been stultifying and I hope it's over now.

There's even a MetaTalk thread about shitting on sports FPPs.

Not at all a fan, but I really got a kick out of the Bruin's marketing campaign.

Thank you for the thousandth time for starting this site.
Thank you for the terrific rejoinder to the anti-sports dopes who crap in MetaFilter sports discussions. "Let's be honest: one of the reasons sports is so fascinating is the chance to see the best at what they do potentially shit themselves on a world stage." Amen!

The thread shitting on MeFi is the reason that despite being a reader for 9 years, I don't have an account there.
Discovered this site via MeFi if I recall. Love this site.
One of the comments on MeFi amused me. Someone saying how they agreed with someone who hates all sports but then goes on to say they love curling... Well guess what knucklehead? THAT'S A SPORT!!!

Wow... The Pacquiao fight tonight made up for Haye-Harrison.
Pacquiao went up 40lbs, still gave away 17lbs in the fight and just about punched through Margarito's right cheek.

An Ilya Kovalchuk post is going horribly wrong on MetaFilter.
