    This is sort of how I feel ALL THE TIME.

    Them: "So, didja see that game?"
    Me: "Umm... game? Well I was busy playing Dark Cloud 2, see..."

    *sigh*

    If you aren't "into" sports, you have no value in our culture. This is my complaint. The games themselves are fine(ish). It's the mentality of virtually every member of society that's the problem.
    The Internet - where men are men, women are men, and teenage girls are FBI agents!

    I'm the least you could do
    If only life were as easy as you
    I'm the least you could do, oh yeah
    If only life were as easy as you
    I would still get screwed

          Same here, but here the sports are football and cycling (both on the road as cross country).


          Them: "What a nice move Tom made in that last corner!"
          Me: "Which Tom? What corner?"

                  Pittsburg Steelers vs Seattle Seahawks

                  Steelers won 21-10. Frame 2 of the comic references several "iffy" calls against the Seahawks that (could have potentially) cost them the game.

                  *shrug*

                  Having played (American) football for a large chunk of my life I enjoy watching games, but I don't go off and rant about them or talk to total strangers about them (unless it's blatantly obvious they are fans). Don't own any jerseys or any crap like that. Just enjoy a good game from time to time ... and the Super Bowl was a good game. Except all the stupid ass pre-pre-pre-, pre-pre-. pre-. half time-, post-, post-post, and post-post-post-game shows. Tey get lamer and lamer each year.

                    See I played damn near every sport growing up, and I may be the odd bird, but I can't stand watching sports on TV. If I'm actually at the stadium or whatnot then it's bearable, but I just don't get into it like most people.

                    I stopped watching pro-(American) football a long time ago because, well, it's just boring. As for the Superbowl... the ads were worthless and that's usually the good part :P

                      Jammy, I'm pretty much with you. Would far far rather partake than watch.

                      To be fair, one of my sports was rowing, which is pretty dull for the spectators... I will occasionally watch a game of rugby though. But only if beer and a pub are involved.

                        I wouldn't pay the ticket prices to see sports in a stadium. I'll be damned if I contribute to the ridiculous salaries these mostly illiterate people make. That's why I own a big screen TV.

                          And help to pay for their salaries because you watch them on that big screen TV LOL
                          Why is it called tourist season, if we can't shoot at them?

                            And how do I do that? I don't buy Budweiser or other big beer brands that advertise there. I don't buy Nike either. How does any of my money go to them but by the most circuitous routes in the economy?

                              You think the TV channels didn't pay the teams/NFL for the broadcast right?
