I was reading a book to DS the other day (Dino-Baseball or something like that) and it mentioned "RBIs"-- I had to call DH to ask him what that meant.
I DO love to bike, run, ski, etc. and watch the Olympics like religiously. But baseball is so BORING to me and basketball worse. Football isn't that bad, I guess.
No one ever talk me the rules of these games either...maybe that has something to do with it.
Re: anyone not give a crap about baseball or football?
I don't mind baseball, but football is not my thing, even though I've tried. A lot of friends right now are posting on FB, "Ah, my favorite time of year, fall and football!"
Not me. I'm sad summer is ending and I don't like football. Blah.
Neither of us do. But I'm trying for the boys' sake. We now have football on TV (college, because they actually play) and take them to baseball games. Actually, I'll watch a minors bball game while MH is bored out of his mind in person. On TV? Not a chance.
Me with my littlest.
I know the terms. I have no problem with going to see live games, zero interest in sitting down in front of the tv to watch sports (thankfully DH is the same!)
I think the more you know, the more interesting the games are.
I bandwagon baseball if a team I like gets into the playoffs - but that hasn't happened in decades, lol.
Football: I cannot stand it.
Tennis: obsessed nearly
I grew up in a family obsessed with sports, but managed to never learn anything about any of them. Now I have a son obsessed with baseball, and I've learned more in the past 2 years than in the rest of my life. I *did* know what an RBI was before, but didn't know much beyond those few basics.
I still hate basketball and football and can't imagine myself getting into them, despite the fact that Ethan loves them. I've found myself loving baseball. I watch the Reds even when Ethan's in bed and can't watch with me. Funny enough, DH is totally into all 3 sports now that Ethan likes them, and he's never been a sports kind of guy at all.
