There, I’ve said it.
I hate it. Really. A lot.
There are many reasons why I hate it. I hate tuning into a sports radio station and finding people discussing it. I hate watching ESPN (which I hate in general anyway) to find some blowhard talking about some 2nd receiver on the Bengals (or whatever) and why everyone should pick him up for the week. I hate hearing that Don Brown is at worst going to get 900 yards and 8 TDs for the Colts this year (um, no, at worst, he’s going to blow out a knee in Week 2 and be out for the year). I hate wanting to know the scores on other games and having to sit through the horrible scroll of fantasy stats (T. Owens, 2 catches, 42 yards, 1 TD) to get to them.
More to prove my point….good friend of mine. Soccer dude. Played collegiately for IU. Hates football (not futbol). Went to IU, so understandable, since they haven’t had a good team….ever. Like I said, hates football, college or pro. No interest in it. Member of two fantasy leagues during the NFL season.
I rest my case.
