    The Navy already has that...chasing commie subs. I once calculated the speed of our nuclear missile subs with a distance to destination and a phone call. Oops. It was not the 'officially published' speed.

      Submarine races in mid-air might prove a bit weirder than under the waves. Jes’ sayin’.

      Lol, blimps are blimps, true, but I’m referring to actual submarines. They’re a tad bit heavier than blimps, and much less aerodynamic.  Arrgghh.

      Dry-air swimming (yeah, before challenging me, not all air is dry)

      Rocket-propelled roller derby

      Desert dunes spear-fishing 

      Skateboard polo (sans equines)

      Interesting, watchable, tolerable cricket (wait until the Aussie reads that one)

      Monster 18-wheeler truck and trailer pull

      Square-ball bowling

      Crushed ice hockey (rink is filled with crushed ice instead of solid)

      Ice cube fishing (teensy tiny hooks, short lines)

      Telephone poll vaulting

      Basketball weaving

      Fingernail file fencing (get in there close, you two)

      Swordfish fighting

      Martial law arts (firing squads await the vanquished)

      Pie-beating contest (many fewer calories, and less vomiting afterwards)

      Dog-ear racing (don’t ask me; I just name them)

      High alai (street pharmaceuticals meet ancient gamesmanship) 

      Croissant-Country skiing (contestants munch on backwoods baked goods while navigating the white powder)((no, the other white powder, grrrrrrrr)  

      In-boxing (two opponents fill out paperwork and move it from their own in-boxes to those of the other side, at the last buzzer, the one with the empty in-box wins)

     Tonnis (that’s how much the ball weighs; good luck avoiding those elbow injuries)

      Waiflifting (much easier than those hundreds or thousands of pounds)

      Duck down hunting (not the entire bird, just the feathers)

      Horsefly fishing (fly fishing with an interesting twist)

    It takes intelligence and patience to understand the nuances of cricket. The former is rare in American sports fans (or sports fans anywhere tbh), the latter totally non-existent. It's chess to baseball's checkers.

    Watching roller derby as a child literally sent me to emotional pieces. My mind could not comprehend the cruelty.

    I could actually see this one happening.
    Not much different from the current Biathlon ... just with archery rather than a rifle, and a moving target.

    I know!  How about adball?  Every play has a commercial sponsor!

    Uh oh, we have a player down on the field.  It looks like he has an injured ankle and will be out for the rest of the game.  This injury is sponsored by…

    That's pretty much what happens with pro and college sports on TV.

    "Fans, the Jets have just entered the Heinz Ketchup red zone."

    College football teams play in games like the TaxSlayer Bowl, the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl, and the Duck Commander Independence Bowl.

    Teams play in venues like the KFC Yum! Center, the Jobing.com Arena, the Sleep Train Arena, and GEO Group Stadium. And one can buy tickets to attend a NASCAR race known as the Goody's Headache Relief Shot 500. This post was edited by Stu Spelling Bee at December 19, 2021 8:26 PM MST
