How to know if someone is talking sports out of their butt

1. They'll go on for about 20 minutes how it's justified that they've gone from rooting for the Oakland Raiders (Super Bowl in 2003) to the Indianapolis Colts (Super Bowl in 2007) to the Pittsburgh Steelers (Super Bowl in 2009). Hmmm.

2. Says that the 2004 World Series didn't count because the Red Sox didn't beat the Yankees in the Series to win the championship. (Oh nevermind they came from behind 3-0 against in the ALCS to go to the WS, and that it's impossible for two AL teams to play in the Series. I'm just saying, somebody actually said this to me.)

3. They'll stand by their statement that Lebron James is not a great player, just a scorer. Then he'll reminisce about the days of Steve Kerr and that other white guy that played for the Lakers with glasses.

4. "Baseball's dumb. It's too slow paced of a game. Hold on, I'm going to turn the channel over to the World Series of Poker."

5. Talks about the chances of the Mariners making the playoffs this year with Griffey.

6. Thinks Tom Brady is a scrambling quarterback.

7. Yells at a pitcher in the sixth inning that he blew a save when that is actually impossible in the game of baseball (Guilty).

8. Asks if it's possible to throw the football through the uprights for a field goal.

9. Wonders when tryouts for the local "professional ball club" are being help as their looking to get back into the game that they haven't played in five years - figuring they haven't lost an smidge off that 6.9 40-time.

10. "What quarter is it? Is this baseball game ever going to end?"

  1. You can get a 4-inning save in baseball, which means you can blow a save in the sixth inning as well.
