What new sport would you like to see?

Slamball, except with higher baskets.

Sadly, I'm not kidding.

I also think some kind of cross between (american) football and soccer would be kind of interesting. Teams of 11, 100 to 120-yard field, two smallish (say, field hockey-size) goals at each end, goal is to pass the dodgeball to teammates and run up and down field trying to throw the ball in the goal (past the keeper, of course). Full contact allowed on player with ball, blocking allowed, running clock like in soccer, also keep the offside rule to prevent cherry-picking breakaways. Obviously, players can use their hands. Not quite sure how to deal with out-of-bounds situations. Yes, I've put way too much thought to this.

That's called team handball. It's even an Olympic sport.

Really? I thought handball was similar to squash.

I'm a sportswriter, and I had no clue. Wow.

It's called Water Polo. Get a clue.

Can't we just start with Slamball Minor Leagues, or at least an expansion?

That looked like the most addicting sport ever to play.

Water Polo is not the same thing as I described.

Something to do with the water.

It did look fun as hell to play. I still think using regulation (10-foot) baskets is rather stupid, though. It would be much more impressive to see those guys jamming on 20-footers (Or 15-16 ... 20 may not be possible).

world slots championships. it's the new p*k*r [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

it would be a timed event. youd have 100 old ladies buy in for 1 months rent and set up 60 slots, and the fastest to find the one with the jackpot wins. think, supermarket sweep, only with slots. fastest time wins.

And you're a sports writer???

Water Polo is played with camels and rubber bands. Just like the guy wrote. Try to keep up.
