The Reason Why Sports Knowledge Takes Very Little Brain Power

So here I am, posting on a sports blog. This is laughable. However, if anyone knows anything at all, they should immediately know that it takes very little to understand a sport. Heck, I don;t even like most sports. I really only like to watch Football because it's designed to be intense and (for the most part) fast-paced. However, when people act like they know so much just because they know the spreads, the stats and every player in the league by name, I consider it laughable. Sports fans, do not take this as any offense. I am a fan of some sports. Hell, I'm the kind of guy who enjoys watching Volleyball at the olympics or even a great Track and Field event. I'd say my personal enjoyment in watching sports is a three way dance between V-ball, Golf (yes, I enjoy watching golf on a lazy Sunday) and obviously football. But here is my reasoning for saying that Sports Knowledge proves nothing about a person. Your average 5-year old in Philadelphia could probably list all the players on the Eagles but not know who our President is right now (not that they should want to know that.) Many uneducated miscretins know the rosters of their local sports team and the opponents but know jack about anything else.

So you ask, why am I writing about sports? Well, this will be a haven for me to prove that someone who doesn't know much about sports and doesn't follow it and watch more than just Eagles, Steelers and the occasional random team games during the season can keep up with the likes of those who follow the sport more closely.

Football is great. Sports are a source of enjoyment. But just like any other form of enjoyment, it doesn't go beyond that really. It's not really an art form, although some sports prove that to be wrong (including football to small extents.) So to all those fun-loving folk who talk about sports, here I am. I'm gonna rock you like a hurricane and prove to you that sports analysis is one big joke. Me? Writing Sports? We'll see how it goes.

It's so easy, even a caveman can do it!


(No offense cavemen. )

There he is!

Didn't even recognize him with the blonde hair, which amazingly makes him look even more gay.

My answer to this: Bagni lives in a world where he thinks he's great, and he probably bought those off ebay or something and in his delusional mindset, he won them. And he interviews important people. Right. Liek any real jock would look at thsi kid and not punch him in the face.
