At work, the cooler talk from the men in the office is hockey, football, whatever pools. I don't mind playing games here and there, but I don't know shit about professional sports, statistics, which team got which guy. Football, basketball,whatever.
I've always been a car and gun guy and nobody in my office seems to like either.
Am I alone on Sig Forum as a guy who knows fuck all about professional sports players, statistics, etc?This message has been edited. Last edited by: acidjazz,
Same here, with little exception. I was always one of those wierdo martial arts guys. I'll watch a ball game if someone else has it on, but rarely go out of my way to do it.
I have zero interest in pro sports, college sports or auto racing. Its about money and hype. Up here, Yoopers look at me like I have two heads when I say I don't care about the Packers or Red Wings.

I like hockey but I'm not a diehard fan. I couldn't care less about foot-, basket-, or baseball, though.

I’m about the same. With the two exceptions that I do enjoy going to baseball games, but couldn’t tell you who plays where, or was traded for who or anything. And I like watching TCU football games. Again, the stats, players, record are all of little consequence to me.

Add me to the list. Absolutely zero interest in any game involving a ball and not much more than that in things involving wheels and engines.
Exception to that would be actual physical attendance at drag races or motorcycle races. And, AFAIK, there isn't any of that within reasonable driving distance of me.

I don't follow professional sports at all. I will (very occassionally) watch some college football, but only if it's certain teams. But I can get into HS sports. My wife is a teacher and a HS girls basketball coach. Love going to her games.
