I’ve started a new positive game. Whenever I see someone
wearing some kind of sports team apparel, that I know (which is 99% of them*),
I pretend that I am a fan. I do this by myself so I don’t embrace my wife. Over
the weekend I saw a Lady going into the Home Depot with a Broncos shirt on. I
rose my hand in the air and said “Let’s get em this Sunday, HUH?!” She was
taken aback, but responded, “Oh, yeah…” Confused I guess that some stranger
would also root for a bionic man and midget slot receiver.
It’s great though. People love it when you are a fan of
their team and you’re almost too excited. I got caught once with a Sonics fan.
He was a little confused when I said, “How about the Sonics?” I rebounded (no
pun intended or was it?) and with a double point and wink while saying, “Now
the Thunder!”**
It is a real good game. I like doing it with Jazz fans… “We
should totally dump Hayward!” or “Don’t you think Ty needs to figure out his
rotation or what?”
*I
don’t know soccer teams as well… or hockey
**
This is not actually what happened. It happened in my brain while I was wearing
a Sonics hat and a guy came up to me and asked me if I remembered the good ole
days. To which I responded that I loved the Glove and Shawn Kemp – the only two
Sonic players I know of.
