I’ve never been an athlete but I LOVE LOVE LOVE sports, especially football. I’m the one in the family who is always jumping up and down screaming at the TV during games like I’ll most likely be doing later tonight when North Carolina plays in the NCAA tourney. Go Heels!

Janga, you named some of my favorite sports themed books. Another series I liked was Hot Zone by Carly Phillips. The books released so far are HOT STUFF, HOT NUMBER AND HOT ITEM.

I lurk here so much, that I finally thought I would peek out and tell you how much I enjoy your blogs! I love how you write- “unfortunate plaid pants” … Your blogs always leave me with a smile.

I always like fencing, horseback riding, fishing, etc in books that I read. I don’t do any of those very often so it’s fun for me to read about them!

I am a lousy athlete and always have been, but I‘m an enthusiastic fan. My brother was a star from Little League on, and we always went to his games—football, basketball, and baseball through high school (track meets too); in college it was just football (he was All-SEC his senior year). So following the team has always been a part of my life. The grands are playing soccer and baseball now, so the tradition continues.

Some of my favorite writers have written sports books. SEP’s Chicago Stars are grand, but I love her golf books too (Fancy Pants and Lady Be Good). Kasey Michaels has a cute baseball duo—Be My Baby Tonight and Love to Love You, Baby. Kathleen Gilles Seidel has several sports books including Summer’s End, a great skating story. And although I am not a hockey fan, I like Luanne Rice’s Summer Light with its blend of hockey and psychic talent.

I don’t do as well thinking of movies. The ones I like best–Field of Dreams and Brian’s Song–aren’t romances.

I don’t mind going to basketball games, more to people-watch than anything. I’m bored breathless when stuff is on TV, tho. Red Sox games are fun only because the fans are so devoted, which reminds me of that cute Jimmy Fallon/Drew Barrymore movie whose name I can’t remember. I’m not kissing any trophies, however!

If I can say Scene It and Taboo, you can say Scrabble

I hate sports and I hate living in Indiana close to Notre Dame. March Madness has a whole over meaning for me *g* And not in a good way.

Yesterday the Colts superbowl trophy thing came thru my hometown, made a stop at the local Meijer. Lordy, you should have seen the camera crews and all the hoopla. People were sobbing, SOBBING because they got to touch the trophy.

*sigh* it just annoys me.

I swam as a kid, played volleyball briefly, and played lots of soccer. I competed in figure skating and horseback riding.

And now, years later, I’m getting back into figure skating and riding, but none of the other stuff. Ah well.

Oh, and the only time I ever watched sports was when I was a cheerleader, for a year. I was reaaally in to football then, probably because we went all the way to State and won for the first time in like 50 years, but other’n'at? Not for me.
