My wife watches and calls me in, then I judge whether or not it's worth my time.How do you know a pitcher is in 100% control, if you only watch when he is in 100% control?The rare times I will watch baseball or football is when a pitcher is displaying 100% control of the batters and playing games with them or when a quarterback, such as in last night's Tom Brady performance, is micro-second cool, calm and accurate.Couch potatoes by the scores of millions sit on their fat asses and watch the television where overpaid boys play games. It's all they can do.
Football, baseball, basketball, soccer, hockey and all the rest. How many couch potatoes exercise as much as they watch television? Very few.
How many "sports fans" go outside with their children and play ball or take a swim or bike ride? Very few.
Idiotic. Lame. Disgusting. Half of baseball players sit on the bench while the other half stand around waiting for that rare hit where the hitter runs and the guy fielding the ball might make a short run. Maybe.
Football "pros" try to injure each other and often succeed. Who cares who wins. You get up the next day and go to work, same as always.
How many millions of dollars are spent on flags, shirts, hats, stickers and tickets to games and all the rest. Then the wife wants a new washing machine to wash her couch potatoes dirty underwear and he squeals like a greedy little pig who's losing his beer money.
Or are you like me...if I see a bunch of players in any sport just showing off and showing no strategy, I change the channel.
It not too often that I agree with her because our thresholds are not the same.
It sounds crazy but when a pitcher or quarterback grabs my attention, I feel it's almost a Biblical obligation to watch.
