Do you guys play any sports recreationally or just watch?

?

Just curious. I play a lot of basketball year round, and a decent amount of tennis in the summer.

Yes

With a knee that looks like this, it makes you think carefully about your activities.

Golf a lot. Coach a little girls basketball and boys baseball. I'm a white guy with glasses so blanch probably wants me fired.

I think he was asking about playing sports.

Forgot that I "golf"..aka get fucked up while I shank left and right onto the wrong fairway..

Golf, softball. But coed beer leagues... Not one of those weird leagues where every guy thinks they are going to turn their softball skills into a minor league contract.

I play BB a lot. Run a decent amount. Kayaking in the summer. I do a lot of other outdoor stuff that would probably not be considered sports.

No golf for me. I really dislike golf, but I do not mind the driving range.

Thinking about starting tennis, but I do not like pastel colors so that might sink that idea.

I can see the guy you're referring to now.

Lifting and running now. Would love to play bball but no time. Pulled my hammy last time I played football. Still play disc golf on a rare occasion

Only golf and I have to wear a knee brace to play. 2 bad knees makes walking up and down stairs a conscious thing, and I worry that one time I'm going to have my left knee buckle.

Are you any relation to pulling?

pocket pool

Rec baseball

I also ride my bike a lot and lift. But you specifically said sports, not recreational exercise, and unlike other people, I know the diff.

I play soccer, cricket, snooker, rowing, and darts - the big five if you will.

Really surprised there are no competitive eaters here.

Indeed. And what about fishing, bowling etc.?

I fish. Is fishing a sport? I'd say bowling is.

Oh I definitely recreationally exercise

Hoop every once in a while. Thinking of doing a weightlifting comp but wouldn't call myself a weightlifter

I competitively eat pussy. The ladies say I deserve a trophy.

Hockey and softball... well I used to until I tore a calf muscle and it never healed quite right. Is treadmilling a sport?

For most sagebrush in your teeth?

Used to play softball in a work league, but haven't in years since that group stopped having a team. That was the only thing that I could still play that wasn't too hard on my knee and ankles.

I played soccer till I was in my late 20s. I'd wear a big knee brace (the kind offensive linemen wear) and it would get sore and tired after a game, but manageable. Then in one season it felt like my body was going down hill. Sprained my shoulder and got a hairline fracture in my arm early in the season. Neither required more than a sling for a few days and I was playing the next week, despite the doctor suggesting I take a few weeks off. Then I got a pretty bad ankle sprain, and some tendonitis on top of that, and I decided it wasn't worth it any longer. My body was saying to stop playing high impact sports. It's not that the injuries themselves put me off, but when you go to work in an office every day trying to build a career and are repeatedly coming in hobbled in some way, it didn't feel very professional. It was time to grow up.

Getting old sounds awful

LWS can tell you all about getting old and the other side of getting old (where you're just old). He is 67.

I swam in Masters until a couple years ago. I am hoping to find the time and motivation to get back into it - starting with an open water swim this summer.

I play Crossfit

I play soccer. Goalie. I'm better than the other dudes I play with, but I also realize no one else wants to play goalie.

I don't have a lot of extra time with 2 little kids but whenever I can I try to squeeze in some Indy Car racing on the side.

Basketball once a week at the local rec club.

Beer league ice hockey year 'round. Jug diddling.

Use to play wallyball 2 hours a week with a bunch of friends until I was 40. Very competitive group and was a really good workout. Too old for that now.

Starting to do that too

Fuck duke.

Strikes me as an IM Circle guy (if you can still play there).

West. Mostly outside when it's nice.
