Ah, Cricket, lovely Cricket...

Sir Garfield Sobers used to come to Jamaica on business after his playing days and I got to know him through a mutual friend. I also got to play golf with him a few times, which is an experience in itself! He gave me a little book about Cricket that was pocket sized so I could listen to the test matches and understand what was going on, not that he stopped teasing me about being a dumb American.

I kept the book open to the page that showed the positions and when the radio announcer would say the ball had been hit to Slips, for example, I knew what he meant. I never did see the wisdom though, of Silly Mid On... Those guys must be kept in cages!

Now we have an American Cricket League, but it's hard to watch. They don't wear whites, but look more like baseball players in the colorful uniforms. It's just not right.

I am looking forward to the broadcase of the West Indies in India and think there should be a party to watch that telecast.

If poker counts as a sport, I'd say that is my next favorite sport. It pays for a lot of my golf and other miscelaneous stuff.

Other than that, I enjoy playing softball and fantasy football (I know it isn't a sport, but it is an addiction!)

I have to learn how to become in volved with fantasy football. All my friends have chosen teams and when we are together, it's all they talk about. I feel like the only dummy who can't understand the conversation.

One of my favourite's is Football or as you guys call it soccer. Support Kilmarnock football club. Also love playing shinty

I guess I don't have any idea what shinty is. At the risk of seeming stupid, what is it?

Your not dumb Dennis I should have told you what it is. It's set up like a soccer pitch. Goals are taller but thinner. You use wooden sticks and try and hit a leather ball into the oppositions goal. Its mad. anything goes in this game.
