In order:

Cricket (boooring)

Baseball (just as booooring)

Nascar (don't get me started on this)

American Football (each play lasts about 10secs while it takes 5mins to figure out a play)

Basketball (like the previous poster said, only the last 4-5mins of the game are relevant, and even then, the timeouts ruin it)

Soccer (the sport has gone absolutely downhill IMO, I love watching my fav team/country, but these sissy-divers who call themselves athletes act, dive, cry and moan as if they are fighting for their life every 2 seconds because they almost got tripped absolutely destroy the greatest game in the World)

Lacrosse is by no means a lame sport, lacrosse takes tremendous skill and cordination. I consider it one of the hardest sports to learn and play well at. Nothing is more difficult than trying to stop 90+ MPH solid rubber lacrosse balls from entering the net, whether you have to use your body to stop it or your net. Take my word for it ;)

I mean come on people lamest sport ever is curling.

It basically boils down to the fact the Americans only understand their own sports and the rest of the world don't understand the Americans.

Nice, but wholly inaccurate generalization.

Hockey bores me to tears on the TV, exciting to watch a real game.

Dog shows are the lamest ever. Not a sport? Tell that to ESPN who feels they need to broadcast it.

All of the sports mentioned that are actually playable by normal people are fun... If you don't think so, then you're probably someone who just doesn't enjoy physical activity. As for watching them, unless you really have a passion for one of the mentioned sports, then of course you're going to think it's boring to watch.

Nice, but wholly inaccurate generalization.

I wouldn't say so

Rugby, Cricket, Football (Soccer) - Played all over the world, not very popular in the US

American Football, Baseball, Basketball - Played all over the US, not very popular anywhere else

This thread should be re-titled the Lamest sports to WATCH, a lot of these sports you all are naming off are ones you say are boring to watch. Like golf is boring to watch, but I think it's fun to play.

I agree. People are saying bowling is boring, but when I go bowling with friends I always have a great time.

I wouldn't say so

Rugby, Cricket, Football (Soccer) - Played all over the world, not very popular in the US

American Football, Baseball, Basketball - Played all over the US, not very popular anywhere else

Baseball is played in Japan and its popular over there.

Heard of the Little League World Series? very popular also.

soccer. yawnfest and so low scoring it makes me want to punt babies

Yeah you NEVER see players coming from other countries to play basketball....There are about 10% of the league that are international. Also baseball is starting up in china and other countries (ever heard of central america) ?

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.

    • We do it all the time on our IT Service desk mailbox to add a reference, in the subject line, once it's been logged and then it's filed into the appropriate sub-folder. Other companies probably do the same thing.
    • "No. The "New Outlook for Windows" does not support non-cloud mailboxes (such as on-premises Exchange servers). Furthermore, because the New Outlook effectively functions as a web-based client, it requires all connected accounts—even standard IMAP or POP accounts—to route and cache data through Microsoft's cloud servers. You can verify the accepted account setups using the Microsoft Supported Account Types Guide." Built to fail "New" Outlook is basically just webmail in a window wrapper and it's usefulness reflects that.
