I have decided... I am going to become a TV sports addict!

Yup, Its official... I have decided that I am going to become a tv sports addict. Why the hell do this all of a sudden? Well... Ill justify myself in a little while... But first... A little about who or what a sports addict is...

1) A sports addict is someone who by-hearts the channel guide and knows what sport is being shown when, on which channel, what frequency the channel is on, the channel number, the channel name and more importantly stacks a 18 hour backup generator just in case, the current (perish forbid) goes off.

2) They know, who's participating, which day, which game, where it is going on, what are the rules for the sport, when the the thing starts, and what time the commercials come on.

3)They knows all the names of all the people involved- this includes all the players, the referees or umpires or judges as the case maybe, the commentators, the coaches (all of them), the team managers, the selectors, the broadcasters, the children, spouses, parents, grandparents, nieces, nephews of the said people mentioned above and also last but not least... even the name of the cleaning lady..

4)They know the stats of all the players, up to the the most minute of details. For example... "Kobe Bryant has not always worn the number 24 on his uniform. In the past, he wore the number 8." For further info such as this visit - here

5)They spend sleepless nights building stamina so that they can stay up really late in the night to watch matches played in international time zones.

6)They always root for one particular team and always feel that they are the ones who could better manage the team instead of the current managers.

7)They have a high resistance to stress and are are for the most part... stress free.. Except of course when their teams are losing.

8) They are very intelligent and use only a cultured language for the most part... Except of course when their teams are losing or in this case winning too...

9) They are very bright and don't show any aggression... Except of course when their teams are losing...

10) They are easy to converse with and are patient listeners, except of course when a match is going on.. and more so when their teams are losing...

So these are a few of the basic traits of a sports addict... So essentially what we have learnt about the species known as the "sports addict" is that they are decent, nice, friendly and in general a very happy go lucky group of people... Except of course when their teams are losing...

Now... about the reason I want to become a sports addict... that will be in the next post...

So... until then...

later...
