It used to be for retirement communities. But it is very popular among all ages now. It’s not going away. Watch Olympics take it in the Olympics after this one.

I mean I'd rather watch real tennis.

It can be fun. I’d never join a league or anything. But for a couple hours on a beautiful day, it can be fun and a decent workout.

But I see my grandson and his young professional friends playing in a major city. I see my son in law playing with his middle aged friends in a suburban park district, and I see my neighbors here in our retirement community in Florida ripping out our tennis courts and replacing them with pickleball courts. Very popular and growing for all ages. Exercise good for all.

Not much going on if you’re not into baseball. They have to show something.

I was at an Applebee’s recently and they had ESPN 8 on one TV, for some reason. They were showing guys skipping rocks across the water. No, really.

baseball is there but it can get boring...yeah, slow sports time, but rock skipping...really?

This video is a couple years old, but gives you some idea.

CBS sports carries many games. I think they got a double header on today starting at 4PM Eastern

Was on CBS SportsNetwork.
Some engineer is probably looking for a job today because the audio from the play-by-play & analyst was awful the entire first half.
I went back again with a few minutes left in the 3rd quarter & it was finally fixed.
But, for a minimum of half the game the broadcast team was barely audible and what we could hear sounded like a 60s phone call.

Last week couple of really good games.

I just like the wide open style of play. Haven't cared much for American pro football for decades.

21 home losses in a row? And, i thought my Bears stunk!
That's just awful.

you are right, it was awful.

When the guy said "21 home losses in a row" I thought that is Tampa Bay in the 70s (or 80s) awful

People were asking him his opinion of his team's execution. He said "I'm in favor of it."
Now, THAT'S awful football.

MLB.TV has made it difficult to find any games.

I get the Chicago White Sox.

Real easy to ignore baseball when it's the White Sox

I was just listening to something on the radio the other day about this. It was invented in Washington state, it is now the official state sport. Interesting story of how it came to be and it’s popularity rise over the years.

without showing the completion of the race, to show Pickleball.

I thought that could cause you to get RSV (per ads I've seen ad nauseum).
