What are the exact symptoms of this sickness? Does it mean that you subscribe to your local paper just so you can read the sports section in the crapper? What exactly does it mean to live and breathe sports? Can being a sports fanatic affect your personal life? Has it? Let's explore this sickness!
So what are the exact symptoms! Have you seen that television commercial with the guy that has the new ESPN phone and the live sportscenter newscaster in different situations throughout the day with him, ending with him at dinner with his girlfriend, is that your daily life?
On numerous occasions my better half will tell me to spend time with the kids or do you really need that subscription to the NFL Ticket, we cannot afford that.
Most of you know that I am an avid baseball fan and love to watch my Giants on almost any occasion I can. When MLB.com came out with MLB TV, I was ecstatic and purchased it without a doubt. It became a beating watching the games on such a small screen. I thought to myself; why not attempt to hook it up on my big screen with an s-video cable and bam, it was instant success. So instead of forking out $ 300 to get MLB game day on Direct TV, I just hook up the laptop to the plasma, sit back and relax, well I thought so anyway. This drove my wife insane; she said that it was too much, taking over the TV to watch baseball. An inner smile instantly appeared! This makes me the cheapest baseball fan in America I presume.
Show me a sports enthusiast that does not have or does not read the sports section in the crapper. Sometimes I spend so much time in the john it makes my legs week, KP and I call that a "leg nummer". The actual definition cannot be found in any dictionary, but you all know what I mean, you actually time your bathroom sessions around the number of pages in the sports section or magazine. It's a great feeling and one that even drives your better half even that more crazy. Twenty, thirty, or forty five minutes in the crapper are an occasional time, you have to make sure that you do not just check the box score, but that you check the lineup and compare it to the game prior.
Don't tell me that you have not tried to get out of a prior engagement to watch your favorite team; I know that btownj has done this. Now he has never stated this to me in any correspondence, but I am sure that Philadelphia Flyers games have been the cause of an argument or two in his love life, come on Jay tell me I am wrong. Maybe even Gunnerman has had a torrential blowout at home because of a premier league game. Jgac (Joe) has on occasions, played his playstation when he was not supposed too. We all do it, sports is our life.
You can blame this on your parents, your friends, whomever. Sports is in our blood and here to stay and there is nothing that you can do about it!
