The Ten Weirdest Professional Sports: Kabaddi and Face Slapping

From the May12, 2021, ListVerse  by Steve Etherwood.

I'm just listing them (well, some comments), but you'll get a hoot reading about them at the source.

10.  Arm Wrestling 

9.  Tug of War  (Especially the tug of war across the Mississippi River between Illinois and Iowa.)

8.  Croquet

7.  Tandem Racing  (Two guys on a bike bent over.  I sure wouldn't want to be the back guy.)

6.  Polo  (On horses)

5.  Solo Synchronized Swimming

4.  Kabaddi    (You'll have to read about this one.)

3.  Equestrian Dressage  (Dressing up horses and riders.)

2.  Race Walking  (We did this in the Marines essentially called a "forced hike."  And, believe me it wasn't a hike.  I'd rather run the course.)

1.  Face Slapping.  (Moe Howard used to be champ.)

JSIS: Getting Low-- Wrasslin' Shame-- Blue It All Over

JSIS--  Just Some Interesting Stuff.


1.  GETTING LOW--  Lake Huron and Lake Michigan are now at an all-time low water mark.  It wasn't that long ago that folks were worried about Lake Michigan's high water and thinking about funneling some of it off down the Mississippi River.  Hey, it goes in cycles, folks.


2.  WRASSLIN' SHAME--  It was just announced that wrestling will be dropped from the Olympics starting in 2020.  It was one of the original Greek events.  This should stay and one of the other, newer oddball things dropped.


3.  BLUE ALL OVER--  I see the NCAA is going to get after Boise State for their blue uniforms on that gosh-awful home field of theirs.  I saw Northern play on it for a bowl game a few years back and my eyes got to hurting.
