As a young (and sometimes sober) man I’m expected to be a scholar in football, basketball, baseball, hockey, badminton, ping pong, horse racing, race horsing, speed walking etc. etc. I find a big dose of irony in men who know all about sports, but are so busy watching sports that they are so out of shape they couldn’t throw a football 5 yards if they were standing on Hamburger Hill with the wind to their back. I mean, really? When did fully capable people all become the little fat kid on the sidelines cheering on all the cool kids? I never understood the infatuation of knowing every minute detail of every sport. How can this information apply to your life? I understand that sports is entertaining, but as I get older, I witness the line between entertainment and wasting time being crossed again and again. Have you ever witnessed two men almost fight because of sports? No, I don’t mean fighting because some dude got elbowed while playing a game of basketball. I mean fighting because they think the Raiders are a better team than the Redskins - pathetic. What’s worse is women are starting to hop on the football bandwagon to become hefty, gordo, couch potato lazy asses. NO!! Not my beautiful women.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m all for watching a game on Sunday and having a few brews with some friends. That’s good times. I’m even down with people going to the stadium and painting their faces to support their team. That is also good times. I have a favorite football team (Go Niners!) and know enough sports info to get me through the day. But when sports completely takes over your life to the point where you lock yourself in the house to watch all the college bowl games and you start arguing with random dudes at church, it’s time to go outside and smell the fresh pushups.

The point I’m trying to get at is this. I watch Anthony Bourdain and Man vs. Food. Then I go out and do things in relation to what I just watched. Those shows motivate me to eat great foods and to travel as much as I can. Obviously watching sports inspire most men to watch even more sports. Watching sports also inspires men to become fat, lazy, gluttons. In the near future men will want to marry football players leaving all the hot women to fend for themselves. Hmmmmmm, actually, that sounds like a great idea. Hooray sports fanatics!!!

Hot Wife: “Honey, can you please come and have intercourse with me?”
Husband: “Later. I’m watching two dudes tackle each other.”
