What are these MO-RONS trying to prove by opening their big yaps? Or are they publicity hounds?

Yet another thing everybody knows is true that nobody is allowed to say.
We all know the type. Those who closet themselves in the den on weekends watching game after game and when "their team" fails to win, they throw a temper tantrum and sulk like children. Sometime they might even smack the wife around, slap the kids or kick the dog. It happens. Wives of sports-obsessed men are right to be out of the house Super Bowl Sunday. Go shopping with your female pals, take in a chick flick or something. And if their husbands team doesn't win, they shouldn't even bother going home. Just spend the night in a hotel room, it's safer that way.
You see these lunatics at the games, grown men wearing the jerseys of their favorite player, waving around those foam "We're Number 1" fingers, and just acting the total fool for the TV cameras. Grown men! It's unhealthy, I tell you. Personally, I think anybody over the age of 13 wearing a sports jersey of a professional team (unless they actually happen to be a professional player on the field) has some serious growing up to do.
Speaking for myself, I'll take in a game here and there. Sometimes on a cold autumn day, I like to come in from yard work to light the fireplace, obtain a tankard of cold cider or ale, and take in a football game. Playoff football can be pretty exciting to watch, though the Super Bowl itself is usually a letdown.
However, I don't get emotionally invested. I might hail from New England but if the New England Patriots don't win the big game, I don't go around the house knocking over furniture or calling radio shows to say that so-and-so "sucks" and that the referees made a bad call. That is all so lame. When it comes down to it, who really cares whether or not the home team wins? I mean, unless it is your son or best friend out there on that field, what does it matter really? If the team from Green Bay, Wisconsin wins a championship, does that really mean that Green Bay is the "best" city and that all the people living there are temporarily superior to those who live in Kansas City or St. Louis?
Consider this. The squad of any professional sports team is made up with highly paid athletes from all over the country. In some sports, from all over the world. The athletes playing for those teams are on contract and they really don't give a crap about the town they happen to be playing in at the moment. The quarterback for the Detroit Lions catches the first plane out of town as soon as the season ends and hopes to be playing in New York or Dallas the year after - or anyplace other than Detroit. And that could be said for any sports team.
So why do grown men get so emotionally invested in their home teams? To the point where they collect cards and pore over career statistics like they were some 12-year-old star-struck kid. And don't even get me started on autographs. Can you imagine how disgusting it must be for a professional athlete to have fat middle-aged men follow him around trying to get him to sign some stupid artifact? How absolutely pathetic is that? If you are a grown man and you are still asking athletes to sign autographs for you, can you please explain? I would like to know why a man would humiliate and degrade himself so (and please don't tell me it's for your 8-year-old son at a cancer ward because I'm not buying it).
I hate ESPN. With a passion. All they ever do is TALK; even during prime-time. Histrionic morons screaming at each other are cheaper than actual sports, I guess. But it’s turned a generation of sports fans into blowhards in imitation.
A generation ago:
Me: “Yankees have the pitching, actually... they just need to get their hitting out of a slump”
Other sports fan: “They’ve been lucky so far with their pitching; I can’t see people like Green and Kuroda winning in the playoffs, can you?
Now:
Me: “Yankees have the pitching, actually... they just need to get their hitting out of a slump”
Other sports fan: “DUDE! OH MY GOD!!! HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT???!!!! The Yankees pitching SUCKS!!!! You know they’re all going to choke, because that’s what Yankees do! THEY SUCK!!! They don’t have ONE GOOD PITCHER in their whole staff!!! Like Green is going to pitch in the series? OH MY GOD, CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT!!!??? Verlander is going to kick their asses in so quickly, so long before they get that far!!! KANSAS F***ING CITY IS BETTER Than the Yankees!!! [30 more minutes of screaming, shouting, etc.]
wow what a man hitting a female the hell with him
