    Way cool, man. That's awesome.
  2. Pardon My Dinger
    Those lousy gypsies stole my jacket!
  3. Pardon My Dinger
    Sixel's 'like' counts as a vote! Irrevocable! That's two.
  4. Pardon My Dinger
    Any Olympians that you know of from those teams? Trying to keep the thread tight.
  5. Pardon My Dinger
    Well, we could really use your vote for Olympic Volleyball is all I'm sayin.'
  6. Pardon My Dinger
    Hey, man. Are you going to take this seriously or not?
  7. Pardon My Dinger
    Anyway, when I really think about it, I'd have to say Olympic Volleyball.

    Again, I don't necessarily think hockey goalies are top dog. Just kind of explaining why their salaries are dwarfed by that of an NFL quarterback. And, I do think there is something to number 3.
  9. Pardon My Dinger
    1. There are more "good" goalies than bad, relative to "good" QBs, SPs in their respective market. 2. It does (?) 3. Money's not huge in hockey, and the goalie wears a mask over his face and competes in a niche sport.
  10. Pardon My Dinger
    In terms of dominance (although, that is a side discussion): SP: what Van said. QB: one of many parts that must be, at least, efficient. Tennis: one on one?Pft. A truly dominant performance in net is 5 vs 1.

    By now, I'm sure you guys are all thinking the same thing I am. Hunger Games. That's the only way to settle this argument. We're just going to have the put two athletes from each sport into a bio dome and let them fight to the bloody end.
  12. Pardon My Dinger
    Biases aside, here's the thing that I've always thought completely distinguishes the physical/athletic demands of playing hockey. Every single skater must possess the full fleet of athletic traits (i.e., speed, strength coordination, stamina, flexibility, etc.) in order to compete at a high level. No one is specialized to a point where they are an exception. Okay, a person could argue that goalies are, and I would disagree, but whatever. In baseball, some people run, and some people don't. In basketball, some people are quick and hyper coordinated, and some are big and imposing, yet slower than average. In football, you probably have some of the freakiest freaks in all the world, and you also have a lot of hulking strongmen who can't get down field without an oxygen tank. Other sports, more examples. It goes on like this.
  13. Pardon My Dinger
    I don't think that is the question. Example: throwing and pole vaulting are skills, not purely athletic qualities.
  14. Pardon My Dinger
    Hockey. Speed, strength, stamina, agility, coordination.
  15. Pardon My Dinger
    FTFY
  16. Pardon My Dinger
    As for your grandma, she shouldn't have mouthed out like that.
  17. Pardon My Dinger
    Canada, though? Not so much. Condolences to Mr. North. I hope this hasn't soured your relationship with Olympic Volleyball too severely.
  18. Pardon My Dinger
    Quick update: USA! USA! USA! Positively bludgeoned the Poles this afternoon.
  19. Pardon My Dinger
    Sounds to me like you've got a fever, and the only prescription is more volleyball. Man, I know the feeling, let me tell you.
  20. Pardon My Dinger
    Yeah, man. Totally. Only been a fan for a week or so now, so I don't know what in the hell you're saying. But, you sure sound good saying it! Keep up the chatter!
  21. Pardon My Dinger
    My best guess is that your curiosity was piqued, and you current resist the urge to look it up. I take no responsibility.
  22. Pardon My Dinger
    Has anyone ever heard Norm MacDonald's take on "Escape (The Pina Colada song)"?
  23. Pardon My Dinger
    The 'Libero' as it is called, is not allowed to send the ball over the net. So you gotta keep an eye on that sneaky little son of a gun.
  24. Pardon My Dinger
    Oh yeah, we'll google that for you. Right away sir.
  25. Pardon My Dinger
    Hell yeah, brother! But there's no volleyball today, ya big goof!
