What SPORTS are you viewing on television or playing?

Youtube has been showing me a lot of track and field lately, except that NBC puts spoilers in every single title so I'll go watch it live, which I never will. I turn on my TV about once a month, if that. I don't mind the 400m. I've been getting a lot of 400m women's hurdles because they've got some amazing runners in that space right now whose names I have momentarily forgotten.

I'm also watching the Utah Jazz completely dismantle their team and trade everyone for future first round draft picks. They must have about 200 first round picks at this point. When they started talking about Jordan Clarkson getting traded I got sad because that guy is so much fun to watch. At least last-minute tickets will be cheap next season as a new team learns how to play together.

Many of the other solid role players on the Jazz players would not make sense to hold onto as the team is not focused on competing this season.

Anyone watching the World Cup?

It's shit that it's in Qatar with a lot of what that has entailed, but purely football wise this is turning into a pretty great tournament - the final group games are going to be pretty great in most cases.
