I guess I was born without the manly professional sports enthusiast gene in my DNA. I know more about Broadway musicals than football and could not care less about the game or pro sports in general. I suppose if I had to I would follow the Chicago Bears and Cubs since I am from Chicago, but it is hard to build hometown loyalty when the team consists of prima donnas who pedaled their talents on the open market and went with the highest bidder. So everyone, please enjoy your mindless entertainment, blow the milk money on buying a square in the pool and loosen your belt to down that 7 bean Dip and IPA. But don’t bother me with your momentary juvenile distraction from the real problems facing the world.
Don’t bother me, that is, unless you want to give me 7 1/2 points and take a C-note on the Rams.
