Awesome Obscure Sports

In light the roundly disappointing boxing match from the past weekend, I would like to use this thread to show some love to sports that, while obscure, are much more deserving of our time and attention (and up to $99) than watching two over-the-hill gay-bashing politicians and wife-beating illiterates get paid tens of millions of dollars to paw at each other and hug.

 

So rather than continue to support the old guard, I think we should take the time to raise awareness to lesser known, but much more entertaining sports. After all, the only thing that separates these activities from a marquis boxing match is a bunch of hype.

 

I humbly nominate...whatever the hell this is:

Did nobody here watch "Full Metal Jousting" for the very short period it was on TV (February - April 2012)? It was pretty crazy. They came up with teams of inexperienced contestants and each team had a coach who taught them and each show culminated in the tournament of one guy from each team squaring off.

That was a great show.  I was so disappointed they didn't have a 2nd season.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
