It's currently March Madness and you'll probably be second fiddle to the NCAA tournament for the next 3 1/2 weeks, consider yourself warned!
Most guys became interested with sports at a very early age. My two sons have been wearing sports themed baby clothes since they were days old. If you think that you can reverse this allegiance, you're about as smart as a statue. Instead of trying to go against the grain, you should try to learn more about the various sports that exist. One great way to learn about sports is to watch ESPN. ESPN is know as the world wide leader in sports and its on 24 hours a day. This is something that you can do on your own time and you don't have to feel dumb when you are constantly asking a guy----you can be the one rebutting his arguments. Imagine this scenario - You and a guy are at a restaurant or in a bar and the tv mentions something about the T.O. saga. You say "T.O. sure was an awesome receiver when he was a 49er! His career has steadily gone downhill ever since" The guy will be shocked! Try it, and tell me how it works for you. Word of advice, watch ESPN for about 15-20 minutes either in the morning while you're preparing for work/school or watch it when you get in it doesn't matter, give yourself at least a week before you go sharing your recently acquired sports knowledge.
Richard- great advice for the ladies, although most of my girl friends are horrible at faking anything at all about sports. And in LA, the only thing the guys care about here is the Lakers and what is really funny is even the guys out here can't name more than Kobe when asked to name the players! LOL- not joking, in LA its "cool" to be a Lakers fan.
ReplyDeleteI heart sports, and include SportsCenter & Style Network in my morning routine! Love the blog!
Holly Ferrari,
ReplyDeleteNot sure if you've heard that already but that's my new name for you, soak it in. I feel you on the LA girls mentality. I think that deep down they want to be heard and they savor the attention, and thats not such a bad thing. On the other hand some are simply trying to hide behind the bubblehead persona as a means to avoid exerting to much mental effort.
On the Lake Show craze, I truly believe that they have got the best marketing thing going in sports today. Mixing Hollywood with sports is always gonna lead to success The Knicks should be taking notes...
Keep smiling
Mr. G
