Sometimes a shoot will produce a totally different rose in regards to color and shape. Also a bush rose may send up a long tall cane with the same type roses on it and this becomes a climbing sport of this variety. What is a sport?

Chess and pairs skate dancing are, afterall, undeniable athletic activities. Sincerely, The Assiciation for the Ethical Treatment of Sports with Even Numbered Participants Dear Geoff,

Please convince your co-anchor, Jeff, to be a “sport” and reinstitute even numbered participants in your list of quantifiable sport criteria.

Chess and pairs skate dancing are, afterall, undeniable athletic activities.

Sincerely,

The Assiciation for the Ethical Treatment of Sports with Even Numbered Participants

Just today the Indy Star decided to waste valuable space on the front page of the Sports section (which is really the only section worth reading from front to back anymore) by talking about the growing fad of "Texas Hold Em". As if playing cards is even a sport! Although, it would fit into Jeff's criteria via #4. How appropriate that you should post this criteria.

I have argued the fact that only four sports are in existence. I stand by my arguments. Plus, since Jeff and I made up the official rules (over hours of highly intellectual conversations at Southern Sporting Goods in Bloomington) we can't be wrong. If you don't like our rules, make your own. Of course, you will still be wrong. Yes I am a real person. I have argued the fact that only four sports are in existence. I stand by my arguments.
