Depends on whether you feel you owe the sport. Also it has to do with sociability. Some people attend sports events just to chill out and bullshit with their friends.
- Exactly! Nothing better than hanging with your friends at an event, be it wrestling, baseball, football. Not every game has to be contested at the highest level.
Elton John was huge there for awhile, especially from 72 - 76. It doesn't surprise me.
The Eagles were good and they were pretty fresh. A different musical style than anyone else. And they made it work by great musicianship and songwriting skills.
RIP Glenn Fry

He had more than one hit, but not much more. Lots of good albums, though.
I usually listen to "Hit Somebody!" at least once during hockey season.
You would probably like "Mr. Bad Example" if you assumed the title character was a Republican politician.
I think the article is actually reasonably close to the mark in this. I am a former wrestler. I like wrestling. If I go to a local college team's dual meet, and I see boring, risk-averse, semi-skilled wrestling, am I supposed to keep going back out of a sense of obligation?
I'm continually amazed at how little support wrestling programs receive from ex wrestlers. Very few attend matches or express any interest in following the sport. Football, baseball, basketball, hockey, soccer or almost every other sport, ex players are rabid fans.
Why should anyone care about wrestling when past participants don't?
Count yourself lucky. I'm banished to wrestling Hell. The local university doesn't even have intramural wrestling. If I want to watch live college wrestling I have to drive 300 miles to Phoenix.
No high schools?
At least it wasn't Joe Walsh.
Joe Walsh > The Eagles
I saw them recently and the show came alive when Joe started doing his thing.

One of the things that's exciting about this, for me, is that my son loves this show. It'll be fun to be able to watch new episodes with him as they come out.
I expect that the control systems on the newer machines will be a lot more sophisticated. I hope they talk a bit about the software.
