Sports?

My neighbor asked me this morning if I'd like to get in on a fantasy football league he was getting started.  It was nice of him to ask, but I declined and explained that I would not have any idea what I was doing.  I'm just not into football...or baseball, basketball, hockey, tennis, soccer, etc, etc.  I guess most kids go through some sort of athletic interest phase, but any I went through were short lived.  Were I to build a fantasy football team today with my knowledge of the sport I'd have the likes of Roger Staubach and Too Tall Jones.  When I actually paid attention to Roger Staubach though I was sure his name was Roger "Starback" and as of right now I have no idea what Too Tall's first name really is.  Such was the comprehension of a second grader with limited interest.

I'll take a pass on yelling at the TV with groups of people, painting my face, cooking meat in a parking lot and spending hundreds or even thousands of dollars on tickets to fight tens of thousands of people into and out of a relatively small space (yes the new Cowboy stadium is still relatively small for 80,000 people to be together).


I won't rule out future sports obsessions though.  I've got a 7 year old aspiring golfer and a 2 year old that's happy catching and throwing any kind of ball.  I may have some TV yelling in my future.

Good game,

A.J.
