Do you get POed at sports games

[kenimpzoom]

Just watching the world series and saw him strikeout with bases loaded and here I go throwing stuff round the house.<br /><br />When the Houston Oilers lost to Buffalo in that comeback win, I was kicking and throwing stuff.<br /><br />How immature is that?<br /><br />Anybody else do the same?<br /><br />Ken

<br /><br />The face of many a "Puker" fan after the loss on Sunday to the guests of the "Love Boat" on Sunday.<br /><br />My wife who works at a pharmacy reports that Prozac and other "Sharman" mind altering drugs are in great demand this week.

Re: Do you get POed at sports games

I don't watch sports on TV. Never been interested in watching anything like that for more than 30 seconds. I think I have adult ADD. <br /><br />Going to a football game on a cold day with no shirt and words painted on your chest is a whole different thing....

Re: Do you get POed at sports games

it's part of being an american. you should have a passion for sports and a passion for your teams. sounds bad, but i have a hard time dealing with people that don't get it. i read lombardi's "what it takes to be number one" every morning when i come to work. what drives you to succeed in sports is the same that drives you to be successful in life.<br /><br />i was in england back in 1995 or 96 when england was playing germany for the world cup. england lost on penalty kicks after they missed an easy kick and the goalie screwed up. game ended and a packed pub just went back to quiet conversation. i asked a guy why no one was pissed or talking about the game. he said the team had a good year, and the players did their best. i saw his point, but couldn't grasp the concept.

Oswalt didn't have his game on last night. I don't know what the heck happened to him in the 5th. Maybe the nearly 50 pitches that inning wore him down. He should have stuck with his fast ball last night.<br /><br />It cost us the game in the end no matter how hard we fought to make a comeback.<br /><br />It was an emotionally exhausting game.

Re: Do you get POed at sports games

Besides hunting and fishing, I can't stand sports.. and absolutely despise football. I'd rather have a root-canal and prostate exam at the same time rather than watching football! <br /><br />There's far better things to do with your time than sit around yelling at your TV screen! <br /><br />Like fishing!<br /><br /><br />~My 2-cents~<br /><br />H.

Re: Do you get POed at sports games

I enjoy watching a little baseball but as far as football goes I do get upset when thats all thats on. Whats this start the clock/stop the clock BS all about. If you want to play foot play football.

Re: Do you get POed at sports games

Man that game stunk! Watched the whole thing. How many chances to win did the Astros blow?<br /><br />It was pitiful.<br /><br />I was glad to see Phil Garner (Astros manager) throw a chair. Made me feel a bit better. His team let him down big time.<br /><br />Ken

Re: Do you get POed at sports games

The only thing that gets me riled up is seeing multi-million dollar athletes play without any drive or enthusiasm. It's all about the money now.<br /><br />IMO that is the main ingredient missing at the Pro level. It's even infiltrated the NFL now

I'd bet you've yelled at a fish or two . . .<br /><br />To me the yelling at the screen is no different than crying at a movie. That's what you "pay" for. I used to be a rabid Dodger fan when I was younger. I had a special chair in my living room and I would sit with my glove like I was in the stands. I think rituals and emotional respionse to stuff like that is great fun. What's the harm? Unless you are breaking stuff that's expensive, I say trash the place!!!

Re: Do you get POed at sports games

Just remembered something else that was funny. Our oldest was just one month old when the Dodgers won the whole shebang in '88. Anyway, I invented the silent cheer, because God forbid I would wake a sleeping baby. When something good would happen I would jump up from my special chair and run around the house "clapping" my fists together. Entirely silent. What a sight that must've been. <br /><br />P.S. BTW, Mrs QC and I were at the Gibson homer game!!!!

Re: Do you get POed at sports games

There is nothing wrong with getting excited, PO’d or upset at or about a sports event. It is a release and diversion from our daily life’s. Granted some take it to another level but they tend to be basically obsessive people to begin with and there are a lot worse things to obsess over. <br /><br />When the D Backs where in the series and the Suns in the championship, I paced through out the house, went outside during commercials, Groaned and growled a lot at the TV. <br /><br />What I can’t understand is what makes people try to destroy their town, win or lose, after the game. We had almost as many people attend the parade for the Suns after they lost to the Bulls as we did show up at the parade for the D Backs when they beat the much despised Yankees. <br /><br />If their your team, go ahead, yell, cheer, cry, do whatever you like, just remember win or lose, the sun will come up tomorrow and the game doesn’t mean a thing in the big picture. That’s why they call it a game

Re: Do you get POed at sports games

Of course it is immature to throw a tantrum over a sporting event. After all, it is only a game.<br /><br />BUT!! If that RATZAKRATZIN PECALUMER would just HIT THE FORGALUMIC BALL it would be easier to remain calm and mature about the whole. . . .<br /><br />You ROWRBAZZLE RAGARM!! My grandson can pitch better than that!! <br /><br />. . . event.<br /><br />I need a scotch.

Re: Do you get POed at sports games

Use to get soooo worked up during the games herself refused to watch with me. Until one day she asked me, "How the out come of the "this" game was going to affect MY quality of life". Point taken. Had to learn to reduce my emotional involvement before the games. Course still burns my a$$ like a 3 foot flame when they play like sheet, and lose to a lesser opponent.

Re: Do you get POed at sports games

Bases loaded and one out and they didnt score a (*&%^%(&%^()*& run.<br /><br />That deserved some anger relief. <br /><br />Ken
