Sure hope it beats........... swimming.
Who in the hell watches swimming?
I thought that was something people do at the beach. Like picnicking. Why isn't picknicking on there? They should add picnicking. It they add picknicking, they can put swimming on there.
OK, glad I got that off my chest.

yet 9th in first place votes, which likely means it was either ranked top 3 or bottom 3 on most ballots....not a lot of votes in the middle

Why isn't golf there? I hear that Woods dude makes a couple of dollars so it must be kinda popular.

I had to put Horse Racing 2nd behind College Football (2 days away!). It amazes me how many fans the snooze-fest that is the NBA has.

I can't help thinking that if the TOC and CHRB had only asked the Legislature to increase takeout in California by 15% last year instead of this year...
that horse racing would have HAD to rank higher in this poll, right?
