i know lots of guys like Richard who like to play sports but don't watch any. it's something you get hooked on as a kid or you don't. i remember being 6 years old and my best friend was already big into hockey and baseball, collecting cards, making scrapbooks, watching - i had no interest, just wanted to play with toy cars and trucks. then the next year I joined little league and minor hockey and I became addicted to following sports - reading about them, watching them, playing them - i am not the addict I once was but it's still a big part of me.

i do know that the best athletes I know never had much interest in watching sports. most sports writers and broadcasters were the kind of athletes as kids who were the last kid picked for a team or never made a high school team.

i was in the middle, good enough to make teams but not a star - i appreciate the amazing talent guys have. i have played some sports with ex-pro's and it is amazing how much better than they are than even a good weekend warrior type.
