So you like to play poker but is it a sport? Is playing cards a sport? How about synchronized swimming?
To some these can be tough questions, I would have to say the poker and cards are not sports. To me a sport is something where your physical talent will have a large impact on your performance of the game.
As such, poker and cards do not qualify whereas synchronized swimming and bowling do.

NFL fans can start gearing up for the next season as it is only a short time until pre-season will be upon us. College football begins around the same time.
Things to start preparing for include getting new football gear such as jerseys & hats, procuring the NFL Network package to watch your favorite team or teams and buying tickets to the games of your choice.
Getting tickets isn’t too difficult any more as you can order them online (like just about everything else these days).
Tonight in the other Washington, known as the Nation’s Capitol… The original “BIG UNIT,” a.k.a. former Seattle Mariner pitcher Randy Johnson will attempt to join the very exclusive company of MLB 300 Game winners against the Washington Nationals… Ironically the franchise that originally drafted the 6’ 10” left hander when they were the Montreal Expos, when Johnson was still a diamond in the rough and more of a menace to opponents with his erratic pitching style, as it would be years before he became the dominant left hander of today who won a World Series with the Arizona Diamondbacks against his future team the New York Yankees.
And I especially like the story about the Indiana Tribe using a Mannequin for pitching practice when Johnson was rehabilitating from breaking his right hand in frustration early in his career and nobody was willing to go into the batters box and face him.
Although not a Mariner for many years, nevertheless Johnson, now with his sixth Major League Baseball franchise, will join Gaylord Perry who scored his 300th Game victory as a Mariner.
Arguably, the BIG UNIT was somewhat overshadowed by Ken Griffey Jr. as Safeco Field has been touted as the House Griffey built, while Johnson’s era as an Mariner is linked to a time when they played in the Kingdome, way back when players with names like Jay Buhner, Edgar Martinez Dave Valle and Griffey “The Kid” won a mercurial 116 games in a single season, a time before new sensation Ichiro Suzuki became the Mariner’s guiding light.
Thus, if randy is successful tonight, he’ll become only the 24th player to score 300 victories and only the sixth left hander to do so…
I am getting older like everyone else and as I get older, I’m getting tired of only being able to watch certain games at my house. I have Cox digital TV right now and for the past two years I subscribed to the NFL network. It was better than not having it, but it still sucks.
This year I am finally going to get rid of my cable tv and go with Direct TV. Directv will allow me to get the NFL package and watch every game I want to. I almost can’t wait. In fact, I’m taking off for 1 and 1/2 months this summer to travel up north so before I leave I am going to cancel my Cox Digital TV, Cox High Speed Internet and Digital Phone altogether.
Then, when I get back I will figure out where to pick up the pieces but one thing is for sure I am going to get Direct TV. So I think all NFL fans should consider this whether they are looking for Direct TV in California or Florida or anywhere in between, it will definitely up their game. I love the NFL.
With the NFL Draft over and the teams preparing for battle, now is the time to prepare yourself to make it to some games. For those of you who are diehard fans of Dallas, Baltimore and Green Bay, I have a good place you may want to check for tickets.
Whatever kind of ball game you follow get the best US sports betting information online. You can pick out basketball odds for your favorite team and more. For something different try placing a football bet on the big matches.
