Reply #37: sports definitely keeps me sane [View All]

especially when my teams are winning :)

And I agree that the energy devoted to sports does a lot of good, too. I don't entirely agree with my uberconservative former supervisor on this issue, I just often reflect that he had (inadvertently) raised an interesting point, and I think there is occasionally a need to remind people that it IS just a game. (I remember during the 2000 Florida recount, news organizations saying--without a hint of irony--that the recount needed to wrap itself up in order to make room for a truly important event: the Florida State/Florida game ...)

But I love sports, and I've no intention of giving up on them anytime soon ... not with the promise of "next year" :D
