Just a thought, but perhaps it has to do with your actions toward the end of the game. :?

(never mind that some of my geekery crosses over more into areas of his interest... like Macs and Star Wars among other things).

I'd hasten to say she's a MUCH more lost cause when it comes to her teams than I am (if for no other reason than she has half a dozen teams in all the major and minor sports that she obsesses over, I've only got the Braves).

Yet, neither one of you has written a story for this sports challenge. And after all aren't we a WRITING website? Now get writing you two. :director:

It's not half a dozen teams. it's FOUR (Mets, Rangers, Giants and UConn basketball). And I'm not even that huge of a UConn fan like I used to be. And I only obsess over hockey and baseball. I just enjoy the other two.

And I'm not the one who geeks out over statistics. I barely even look at statistics!

I believe there's a minor league hockey team that's not the Rangers that you've been known to be a fan of.

I follow them because they're the rangers affiliate, charles, and now that i moved to Jersey I don't follow them at all except when Steve (a guy who sat in my row) calls me.
