Sports Fan

growing up, my dad decided that if i wasn't going to play sports, i was sure going to "know" sports and i couldn't be more grateful. from an early age, i was taught the art of sports lingo. i was quizzed regularly on the mascots of every nfl team and i was told that i bleed dodger blue.

those skills have only grown as i've aged. i hate sounding like a "girl" so i've made a point of listening to sports radio and learning all i can about "my" teams. there's nothing like a loving a team so much that their win can literally brighten your week and their loss can break your heart (i know that all too well with this month's performances by the dodgers and cal bears).

i don't know many households that have espn on tv 24/7 (especially when the wife isn't complaining) but ours does. more than that, i love the look i get from my husband when the topic of baseball or football comes up and i hold my own in a room full of guys. i know that in that moment, he truly believes that he married the sexiest woman alive.
