I will never understand that. Rioting over sporting events. It doesn't get much more absurd than that.

Baseball season is coming into it's last month. My Arizona Diamondbacks are in 1st place in the NL West!

Well, they're certainly not the best team in baseball from a win-loss percentage, but they're good. They're not loaded with star players, they're scrappy, and they're streaky as hell, but damnit, they're in first place! With all the negative that's been going on in my life lately, it will be pleasurable to see my local team make it to the playoffs.

GO DBACKS!

Summer's coming to a close.  The Philadelphia Phillies seem to be holding relatively steady, so barring anything major in the coming weeks, it should be a fun September/October.

The Eagles season is gonna be starting soon.  Wonder how that's gonna go down.

And of course, my favorite team will be starting soon enough: The Flyers.  I'm a big hockey fan.  One good thing I love is the start of fall and the coming hockey season.

I think my Packers have a chance to maybe go undefeated, unlikely but it's possible

Sports? 
Sports? Yow.  Sports? No....
I dont even like the word. "Sports". Sounds like the name of a soda pop. "SPORTS! makes you happy!" "DRINK SPORTS!! It'll make you squirt! SPORTS! "

Totally agree.
I've never cared for any kinds of sports.  I never watch it on TV either except for an occasional tennis match or baseball game. (and even that's rare)
The word "sports" makes me think of puke.  You know, like when you're gonna barf and instead of it sounding like "RALLLLPHHH" it sounds like "SPOOOORRTTS!!!!"

I'll wear a baseball cap with some team's logo on it and some random guy will start asking me about the team and blah blah blah.  When I tell them that I don't watch sports and that I just like the look of the hat they always react with disappointment.
I get that all the time from people.  They look at me like I'm some sort of freak when I tell them I don't watch football.  I could never stand American football.  You see all these people going insane for their favorite team and that's something I've never understood.

I am the exact opposite of those guys who sit in front of the TV watching a game, drinking beer and screaming this and that.  That's one of the big reasons I don't go over to my dad's house on Thanksgiving...because every other male there has their butt parked in front of the tube after the food's been eaten. 

I do however like extreme sports like Airsoft.
