Highwire used to play here. You jog when you wanted to catch up, so follow through with the slang.

If you can get decent tickets in the lower bowl without selling your organs, you can mix anticipation with a decent understanding of the game to follow it

I imagine that's near impossible for NFL/NCAA in texas though

I understand the game, sure. But the only time I bothered with a pro game, I was on the top deck at the old Meadowlands in the mid 90s. Even binoculars won't save your Sunday then.

I started actually looking it up

x/x as x approaches 0 is 1, but 0/0 is called an indeterminant because you can have x^2/x, x/x, x/x^3 which all would be 0/0 as x approaches 0, and they would evaluate as 0, 1, infinity. SO it's confusing. Usually you'd use the derivatives and limits to determine the value, so hmmm.

f(x)/g(x) as x approaches 0 = f'(x)/g'(x) as x approaches 0; x/x as x -> 0 = 1/1 as x approaches 0. Yeah checks out 0/0 is 1 by L'hoptials rule. All i remember was the sin(x)/x example, I swear x/x was taught to me as not being determined.

I have the same feeling as you do. I have a nagging doubt that some teacher told me 0/0 is not equal to 1 but I don't see why.

0/0 is not equal to 1 because it's about the journey not the destination. 0/0 is 1 if you're talking about x/x as x approaches 0, but it's 0 if it's x^2/x as x approaches 0. The can both be expressed as 0/0 but would evaluate differently. 0/0 without any context is meaningless is the point of it.

Why do Americans, like a lot of Australians, follow bad, parochial games with no international draw?

MLS is the only sport in that list taken seriously.

True. But I am enjoying thinking about how two zeroes can make a 1. And a 1 and a 0 make a 10

But 0^3=0, so 0^3/0=0/0=1

I like association football, and I think it's really on the rise here. I still watch EPL fairly regularly.

But honestly basketball is by far my favorite sport, both college and pro, and while it's international presence is pretty terrible it does exist!

F1 is also far better than Nascar.

0^3/0 would be 0 if you do the thinking properly. 0/0 is meaningless, you can only look at functions as they approach 0 to figure out what they should be. You can't just evaluate individual parts and get your answer. 0/0 can be any value. Take the ax/x, at x = 0 this evaluates 0/0, but the limit as x approaches 0 would be a.

Hockey games are a whole lot of fun to attend. There's such an excitement to it and they keep it up most of the period even with downtimes for commercials or whatever. I like games where something interesting can happen at any moment. I've been to some baseball games and one football game and they were both just a whole lot of setup for a few seconds of action, which I found really dull.

I would see nhl and NBA live because of the small field of play. Baseball is great to see live but you miss a lot because of the size, also being able to see the strike zone is nice. Football fields are huge and the weather sucks and I like instant replay.

I don't care much for mls.

Auto racing is the best live.

It's hard to justify being irrationally upset about a call/no call if you see a replay. Net minus imo

I remember being young and going to a racing event. The cars come by loudly and then they are gone and nothing happens till they come around again. So it becomes just watching the TVs outside, but that's not anything exclusive. And I never found auto racing exciting to watch to begin with.
