Let's start our own games

Throw in some chairs, kendo sticks, barbed wire, trashcans, etc. Make a Hardcore match the standard. Make sure that you get Refs that don't pay attention, and look the other way when one person cheats. Paintball, yes do it, make paintball a real sport event! Nothing says you are a pro than when you have the welts from the paintballs to prove it! Drinking contests, see if you can drink the other guy/gal under the table. Real US/Canadian Hockey, with lots of fights, blood, and lots of bodychecks. Allow people to throw squids and stuff on the ice. US Football, well not NFL style, but more of a XFL style. Rough and tough, rock'em sock'em, hard hitting Football that is also a bit like Rugby. Any others you can think of, Box? "Will code Visual BASIC for cash."

The winners are all chosen by judges. That's not sports. That's politics. And curling? If curling is a sport, pork rinds are a health food."
