Is that basketball? Lol I don't really follow that. :)
δούλος
Basketball, Football, I follow the NFL, and NCAA basketball, big fan of local sports. High school level, since I used to compete in them. :)
SoulWinner
I have always wanted to watch college sports, but I never seem to have the time! :) I play for my homeschool jr. high basketball team. I'm actually kinda nervous because we have a state tournament coming up… Pray for me! :D
Dani(elle)
That's awesome! What position do u play?
SoulWinner
I'm only 5'9", but since we are a small team, i'm the small forward. :)
Dani(elle)
I'm sorry I don't know much about basket ball I know the positions but it doesn't seem to make much sense that at almost 6 feet u would play 'small' forward. Lol :) I assume the 'small' isn't literal all the time! :)
SoulWinner
Well, Lebron James is a small forward, and he's 6'8". I didn't come up with the names :D And you seem to know a lot about other sports besides basketball :)
Dani(elle)
Thanks! I have three brothers so I come by it honestly lol. :) I listen to them a lot lol. :) me and my younger brother were joking around the other day about the soccer announcers who say goal for like a minute straight! They r like 'Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!' I think u get my point lol. :)
SoulWinner
lol and the fact that they talk so fast while they're announcing :D I wonder if the people who speak their language even understand what they're saying :o
Dani(elle)
I know right! It is very entertaining to listen to though lol. Do u follow hockey much?
SoulWinner
Sorry I haven't been on to answer your question. I'm really crunching for school right now :/ No I don't follow hockey at all. I have been to a Dallas Stars game because we won tickets to go see it. Other then that I just know there's a Stanley Cup or something right?
Dani(elle)
Yes the Stanley cup is the name of the championship trophy/game. :) I have a quiz for u all plz no one cheat and go on the websites. Which teams in the NHL, NFL, MLB, and NBA have full team names that DO NOT end in 's'. Hint: there r none in the NFL. 3 in the NHL. 4 in the NBA. And 2 in the MLB.
SoulWinner
NHL: I have no idea, MLB: Red Sox and White Sox?, NBA: Miami Heat, Oklahoma City Thunder, Utah Jazz, and Orlando Magic. :)
Dani(elle)
Your right! Does anyone know the NHL? :)
SoulWinner
What are the teams for the NHL?
Dani(elle)
If I told u that I'd give the answer away! :) I want to see if anyone else know. :)
SoulWinner
Oh right! :) Totally wasn't thinking about anyone else.
Dani(elle)
Haha that's ok. :)
SoulWinner
Quick question, what are your favorite sports teams Danielle?
Dani(elle)
In the NFL I like the Carolina Panthers. In the NHL I like the Pittsburg Pengiuns. I don't really follow baseball but I like the pirates even though they r awful. :) in don't really follow NBA but we watched the finals several years ago when the Heat won so I kinda like them but that was a long time ago… Dwayne Wade is definitely my favorite player. What teams r ur favorites?
SoulWinner
I listed them earlier but now they've kinda changed. NBA i'm struggling to choose between the Heat, the Thunder, the Clippers, and the Knicks. I also like the Brooklyn Nets. MLB I still go for the Rangers even though I have never watched an entire baseball game in my entire life! :) NHL I guess I like the Pittsburg Penguins too because they are the only team I know of :D NFL I still like the Giants, but RG III is amazing!
Dani(elle)
So I was at sports clips 2day with my little bro and I finally found out who Clowney is! Lol
SoulWinner
Was it the play where he knocks the guys helmet off? Cause i can't get over that one :D
Dani(elle)
Apparently, but I don't get the big deal considering that happens all the time…… Lol and the guy he hit said 'I saw it coming all the way, it didn't even hurt.' Yeah right. :)

Who here likes Fooseball or badminton?
SoulWinner
We have a fooseball table in our youth room :) I must admit they are very fun. :D
Ruth Smith
Fooseball is one game I can really get excited about:)
admin
We all know that… don't loose heart!!!!!!
Ruth Smith
Exactly. It's amazing to see how much a little encouragement can boost the morale of your team:) can't wait to play with you all again:)
Ian R.2
I like badminton.
SavedByGrace
We have a Foosball table in our basement, though I only ever really use it when we have guests at our house. :) It's always very fun, and it's easy to get pretty excited. :D
Dani(elle)
We used to have a foosball table. We threw it out though. :(
Emily H
I like both! =D
admin
We know who LOVES foosball! And our triple matches!!!!!!!!!
biblebee
I really like fooseball. I enjoy playing it when we go down to our grandparents house. We don't own one. And the games can get very exciting :D
I also like playing ping-pong… especially around the world, and basketball. Playing ping-pong at nationals is so much fun and playing basketball in the dark with our neighbors is so much fun too :D
SoulWinner
I like to play basketball in the dark, too! It's really fun because you can't see the goal, you can't see your friends, and you're laughing extremely hard because one of your friends just tripped over a rock! (That scene actually happened during the recent super bowl! :D)
admin
@Carissa: I'm REALLY bad at ping-pong…. It's because I have a tendency to get really competitive and the balls get hit pretty hard! We had ping-pong in our Family Fun Room at locals and I was out on my first try because I hit too hard!
Dani(elle)
Is anyone excited for March Madness?
Dani(elle)
Lol
<Is anyone excited for March Madness?</blockquote>
biblebee
I'm not that good at ping-pong though I don't hit the ball really hard like that :D My dad is really good…he is left handed and he can play with his right hand and use a spoon, not a paddle. :D
Dani(elle)
I assume no one on here even knows what march madness is? Sad what this world is coming to……. Jk. ;)
His Servant
@Jordan – That sounds like my older brother and I :) We both are extremely competitive, and ping-pong is one of the many games that neither of us like to lose. I wish I had done ping-pong at Nationals….maybe next year, we Memverse-ers could have a big Around the World ping-pong game :D
SavedByGrace
I'm terrible at ping-pong myself (for pretty much the same reason as Jordan… :D), but a friend of ours at church is a professional ping-pong player; last I heard, he's the eighth best in the country! :D
biblebee
WOW!
Dani(elle)
Wow! That's pretty good! Lol

Who likes bowling?
Ruth Smith
Bowling is really fun , especially when you can do it with friends. The only problem, is we only do it once or twice a year, and so I always forget my techniques by the next time we go bowling.
biblebee
I have only bowled a few times but it is lots of fun :D My dad almost became a professional bowler…but he decided not to.
Dani(elle)
It's fun but I'm really bad at it! Lol :)
Ruth Smith
That's amazing. Your dad must be a really good bowler.
