For the sake of Egg...

[Pereira, Jorge M]

You've poured your heart out Kim, and I know where you are coming from.
I actually fall along the same lines too, when it comes to sports.  Like
you I still love to play sports, I love the x's and o's, the player
improvement, the coaches' moves, etc. to the point that like you I'll
put a great game ahead of a win by my favorite team any time.  Face it,
Kim, we are a dying breed.  There may be another 5 to 10% of sport
watchers still left that see it the way we do.  So I can understand the
fans/posters that enjoy their sport in other ways, and even learn from
them (i.e. trade talk has taught me that you don't trade a talent for
another equal talent), and other such complexities.  I'll always
remember when I was about 10 years old and already suffered from the
sports "bug".  The sport was different, soccer, and I was at the stadium
totally enthralled to be watching my favorite players do their thing,
when from behind me a girl out on a date with her beau turned to him and
said, :" I just love it when the goalie kicks it.  It goes so high and
so far..."From then on I knew I wasn't alone; there were other type of
crazies out there.
