Do you play another game well besides foosball?

I wonder how many foosball players play another game well, besides foosball.  If so, what is it? And do you like foosball better?  And do any of your friends from that game play foosball with you?

I know a lot of people as do I in my foos circle play golf.. there are a lot of similarities  between the two.. setting up the shot.. Knowing when to shoot.. making the right decision in the shot you take..the discipline in practicing. I think that I enjoy foosball a lot more.. I've never played in a sport were you can sit down after a game is over with your opponent and talk about what you or him did wrong and what to work on.. then work on it with them.. and well when you own your own table it cost a hell of a lot less to play foos then golf...

I sold my table in 1980 and bought a bow(archery). Over the next 25 years I both hunted and shot competitions. At one time I was ranked 4th in the nation and 6th in the world. In 2001 I fell from a scaffold at work and broke both arms. It was difficult to come back from and I was burnt out on competitive shooting anyway. I still hunt with bow but I've slowed down and it doesn't seem to matter as much if I get an elk or deer. Those elk are alot of work!I always thought about foosball through all those years and find it to be a nice way to keep life interesting, especially now that I have to learn shots like the snake. Other than that I fly fish and tie flies as well as fishing conventionally, brew beer, shoot pool, pick wild mushrooms(for food) and still build long bows.

besides football i think i was actually better in baseball and soccer..but south georgia is a football recruit oasis..got a scholarship kicking footballs at FSU...baseball and soccer not so much.......I do pay golf and used to shoot pool all the time on my own table and out.....sold the table and bought a foosball table.......I love to fish and beat everyone I know in table tennis......But the answer to your last question I love foosbal as much as any of those sports, but can't say that I like it more.....more than pool and golf,,,,yes...but baseball and soccer its close...It doesn't fit my life right now to go find a older league for those sports...plus im in no shape to play a soccer game....

OM shrooms for food ehh..lol....

Played soccer my first year of college but took way too much time. I like to golf but i'm not great at it. Im a decent surfer and I skate often. I pick mushrooms sometimes but I don't eat them for food, although I do eat them when I have nothing to do for the next 8 or so hours.

Yeah well,,,back in the day ;D but they are a little skitzo for me, besides all the drug testing nowadays. But I've picked mushrooms for money and found one that was worth $12.50 by itself. I pick about a dozen different varieties, I make a mean elk stroganoff with chantrelle mushrooms. You only get that here, at my house. Even the noodles are home made. I served it at our camp at the world championships and had guests from 5 different nations over to try it. Either they were all polite or they really did like it as they ate it all.
