Friday’s Four Cents: Is This Just Fan-tasy?
One of my favorite commercials these days shows a pair of prototypical jocks sitting around the lunch table in a high school cafeteria discussing Tim Lincecum’s WHIP when a group “losers” dogs them for being nerds. “It’s Not Crazy. It’s Sports.” is the tag line. While it might not be politically correct, it’s absolutely right on. Self-proclaimed manly men spend hours researching and analyzing statistical trends just to decide which players they should select for their fantasy team. These same guys crack on people for playing World of Warcraft. I tend to see that as hypocritical, so I prefer to make fun of both fantasy sports nerds and WoW geeks.
