Don't really remember who I wrote this for, but I think it still rings true!
There are some things that all guys want to do and that is go to the biggest, best, craziest, and most intense sporting events that there is. The only problem can be in figuring out just what those are.
Well you don’t have to throw away your man-card by actually asking someone. My research team (and by that I mean my drunk monkey and me with an assist thrown in by my 18-pound cat; never underestimate the value of a fat pussycat) has compiled a list of the must see sporting events in the world.
The Rose Bowl
There is nothing like the granddaddy of them all. The pageantry and atmosphere that surrounds this game does not require the presence of the #1 and #2 teams to be intense. As an added bonus you get to park on a really nice golf course (or at least I did back in 1995; feel free to spin out and leave your mark).
The Running of the Bulls
By this I do not mean a large group of angry transvestites, but the infamous Running of the Bulls in Pamplona. You will have much more respect for your next Quarter Pounder after surviving this run.
A Baseball Game at Yankee Stadium
It isn’t exactly the house that Ruth built anymore, but there is just something about watching the most successful team in the history of baseball play; in case the game stinks you can rest assured that the fans will provide more than enough entertainment.
The FIFA World Cup
Ask anyone that went to South Africa for the last one and they will likely say that it was the most amazing experience of their lives, even with those annoying vuvuzela (chances are they probably bought one, too).
The Billabong Pipeline Masters
Even if surfing is not your sport it is hard not to be amazed by the things these people do out in the water, plus you will likely not find a larger collection of incredibly hot babes wearing next to nothing outside of the Playboy mansion.
The Summer/ Winter Olympics
The largest collection of incredibly hot female athletes from all over the world that will be dying for a release after their event that they spent the last four years training for; if your not single when you guy you probably will be before it’s over.
Georgia vs. Florida Football Game
It’s called the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party; do I really need to say more?
Rugby World Cup
There is not a more intense game played in the world. The action on the field is incredible and you will not find harder partying fans anywhere.
A Manchester United game
Imagine a rugby game without much contact, but with equally insane fans.
Wrestlemania
Yes, it is fake, but these guys sure know how to entertain the hell out of people.
A Green Bay Packers game in December
There is nothing that says football like a fat guy in December with his shirt off at Lambeau Field.
The Indianapolis 500
A great excuse for hanging out all day outside drinking beer; just be sure and bring some Tylenol because the drone from the engines is annoying after an hour (or just drink some more).
The Kentucky Derby
This race at the Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky, and is populated by a whole bunch of ‘southern belles’ drinking mint juleps. If you play your cards right they might treat you like one of the horses.
The Super Bowl
This is an obvious pick, but one I would be remiss in not including.
College Basketball’s Final Four
Fans go crazy for their college team and turn out in droves ready to party for it too. Since crowning the national champ takes a few days you get plenty of time to challenge the other team’s fans to drinking games.
The NBA All-Star Weekend
Yes, it is technically a game, but the real focus is in providing the fans with some stellar entertainment; between the game itself, the slam-dunk competition, and everything else you can’t go wrong for a basketball fan.
The Home Run Derby
Home runs are the best part of the game; now if only we could get the real home run bashers to participate more often.
A Bull Fight in Mexico City
It is easily one of the greatest displays of machismo in the world; drink some tequila, scratch something, have a taco and enjoy.
World Series of Beer Pong in Las Vegas
This is a real event. Honest.
World’s Strongest Man Competition
You can’t help but stand back and go ‘damn!’ when you see these guys pulling around buses and working out lifting a VW Bug.
The Wife Carrying World Championships
You know you want to go just because of how absurd the whole notion sounds. Since it’s held in Finland I’m sure you can get some killer vodka too! If your wife balks at the idea tell her you’ll take her to the Husband-dragging Contest next year.
The Running of the Nudes
As part of the Festival of San Fermin this event was intended as a protest against the better known running of the bulls. It does not matter to us as long as there are chicks involved.
Royal Shrovetide Football
A game of football (sort of) that splits the town in half and has goals about three miles apart. The only rules are you can’t kill anyone or use a motor vehicle to advance the ball. Love it!
Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest
It’s one of those you want to say you saw once. If you still want to eat a hot dog afterwards than maybe twice.
Australian Naked Beach Olympics
If I have to explain why to you then you are not a man; just picture women's beach volleyball in the nude...
