you're taking this way too seriously

Giving yourself over to drama, joy, and heartbreak of this sport is fun.

AND WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH SPORTS, AM I RIGHT?

Which is better, wet Herrera or dry Herrera?

@3,

Moist Herrera

Obviously it's not the end of the world or anything but getting invested in it makes it that much more exciting.

Herrera's nickname: The Louse

If you are not invested in it, you are missing most of the joy of sports.

The terrifying lows, the dizzying highs, the creamy middles, and whatnot. Looking at it the way an uptight art critic looks at a painting is missing the entire point.

Yeah, and that superbowl win? Big whoops. Don't take it so seriously. The NFL is a haven for buffoons who happen to be ridiculously talented.

MLB is a haven for buffoons who happen to be ridiculously talented. The NBA is a haven for buffoons who happen to be ridiculously talented. The NHL is a haven for buffoons who happen to be ridiculously talented. MLS is a haven for buffoons who happen to be ridiculously talented. Professional Jai Alai is a haven for buffoons who happen to be ridiculously talented.

We shouldn't sigh or express our emotions with our faces? Are you that dispassionate with your own interests?

What everyone else has already said. One can be deeply, heavily and emotionally invested and simply not be an asshole. Plenty of us are.

@7 Don't conflate love of sport with love of a team because they are often mutually exclusive as shown when team fans justify the most unsporting behavior. The emotional roller coaster of fandom misses the point of sport to focus on the us versus them mentality.

Ansel, you suck at writing, don't take it too seriously though. We're just a bunch of commenting buffoons, talented at being talentless.

Please stop 'reporting' on sports. Thank you.
