I've never seen cricket.  But I think the single most boring sport --
the one I would most consider absolute *torture* to sit through --
would be . . . . 

NASCAR.  

Oh, man.  Around and around and around and around they go.  And what
are they doing?  

Driving a car.  

Heck, *I* can drive a car, and I never ever crash into walls and burst
into flames, either.  ;-)


That said, the sport I would nominate for "Sport That Is Really Cool
At First Glance But Has No Staying Power" would be the X-treme sports
like the grown men riding the little bikes or doing flips on
skateboards.  Yeah, they're athletes and all and the tricks are
amazing.  But it is hard to stay interested for very long because when
you've seen one guy shoot off a ramp and take his feet off the pedals
and kick his legs really high, you've rather seen them all, huh?

Cindy -- who can't understand why she finds gymnastics so fascinating
but can't muster the same interest for the bike dudes
