Re: t-and-f: The REAL athlete of the year

You make my point about Lance vs Bonds. What is it about hitting a fastball that makes it a more redeeming athletic endeavour than hitting a bullseye? And I'm not putting down either. Regards,, Martin Randall Northam wrote: Aargh! I've put up with many other sports on this list - notably

Aargh! I've put up with many other sports on this list - notably basketball, baseball and American Football, which no other country other than the USA and Canada plays with any distinction - and is therefore very, very parochial - but now we've got DARTS on the list for heaven's sake. To

1. Your opponent isn't moving the bullseye to cause you to miss; 2. The bullseye is substantially larger; 3. There is no need to react to the movement and differing speeds of the bullseye; 4. There are far fewer great athletes throwing darts. At 6:12 AM -0500 08.01.2003, Martin J. Dixon wrote:

Let's not be so critical of Darts. This is truly one of the world's great games. In fact, I was a member of a team in the early 1970's in Westwood while in grad school at UCLA. I was the only non-Brit on the team of 8. We played 301 and cricket exclusively. Not the cricket with the bats and
