    Its what you don't know.
    You don't really know how to have fun in the cold.
    You don't know how to really pronounce "out" and "about"
    You don't know how to really wail on somebody and then go have a beer together and laugh about it.
    You don't know how to take the wheels off of the refs car while he is officiating your game.
    You don't know how to put a bit of tape on your buddies skate blade when he isn't looking so he looks like a four year old when he steps on the ice for his next shift.
    You don't know how to really screw with the other teams head during adult league playoffs. (hint-"accidentally" walk into the wrong locker room and when they are yelling at you to get the eff out just turn and say "nice dick dude"). Messed them up badly and we ended up winning the league championship.


    You have missed out on lots of fun!

    Well slap me silly and call me Susan, I think I'm gonna take up hockey. There's a rink practically in my backyard, afterall. Guess I need to get some rollerblades first. I can ice skate alright, but have lots to learn there too

    If your post count is higher than your round count, you are a troll.

    Baseball is a game, not a sport...

    Hockey...there is a reason why there is a line change every 45-60 seconds. Hockey is one of the few sports where every player (except the goalie) must have a combination of explosiveness and endurance as well as hand to eye coordination and reaction time like no other sport not to mention be tough as hell. An NHL goalie is just a freak of nature.

    Baseball...any sport that a player can play from beginning to end without breaking a sweat is pretty weak. It certainly takes skill to play the game, but it is not very physically demanding (reason they can play 162 games in a season). The most challenging part of the game is standing idle for long periods of time and sprinting without pulling a muscle.

    Michael Cuddyer is an example of someone who plays the game right... He could be out at first by a mile and he STILL hauls ass down the line. EVERYONE should play like him.

    Speaking of ol' Wayne...

    I have this exact same jersey... But mine is dirty as fuck and has some seams coming unsewn. If you want it, $10 buys it.

    Disregard my earlier comment... I read it as "basketball" not "baseball". You are absolutely right! lol I love how so many baseball players have big beer guts...
