Hello, I’m Paul.  I like sports, and I like talking about them.  I love a good morning tailgate, and can’t get enough of adverse weather football.  I’ll watch most sports for at least a little while.  Never a player of most of the sports I follow, I am no stranger to competition and physical play.  I yell at the TV/players like they can hear me, but they of course cannot.  I can read lips to a moderate degree and enjoy reading angry players’ mouths.

Most of all I love the competition and ideology behind a game.  It’s a group of people (or a single person) exercising teamwork and physical discipline to win a matchup while not breaking the rules.   Most traditional sports preach good sportsmanship, which I fully endorse.  The respect for others and for the game is admirable, but the physical lengths some players will go to while miraculously keeping injuries fairly low is also impressive.

I’ve heard sports programming called a reality TV show before, and I will not disagree.  In some degree, It definitely is.  But even if coverage sometimes does focus a little heavily on inner-sport drama,  the constant battle with both teams clearly trying their hardest is something that can’t really be controlled.  Barring any tampering, of course.  Anything can happen on the field, and there is a certain historic feel to it.

In short, that’s some of what I like about sports.  I’ll write about that, and things like why I’m not all that broken up about Greg Oden sustaining a fracture.

For the honor and the glory,

-Paul
