I don't cry over the play on the field. I invest emotionally in the people(players). When they succeed and get attention for their success, I relish that.

Met tim Collins, Greg holland, and Alcides outside Camden yards after a game a few years back.

In order of awesomeness:

Holland, country boy, just bull shitted for 20 minutes with my friends and I. Down to earth and cool as shit.

Alcides- had the biggest bootied, big tittied, fake blond girl with him ive ever laid eyes on, hilarious looking couple. No words exchanged.

Tim Collins- epic ****ing douchbag, the worst I've ever experience MLB wise in public. Told a guy and his son to more or less piss off and then stormed off saying not so quietly, "stupid ****ing fans".

The only time I think it's ok to cry in sports is your final game as the seconds or whatever (depending on the sport) count down, knowing you'll never step on the field/court again. It's like losing a life long love in your life.

Other than that...people cry to get attention.

The video at the top of this thread: http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=287573 begs to differ... Watch that and keep dry eyes, I double dog dare you :thumb:

Emotion is the payoff and the reason for paying attention to the games. Don't tear up over sports, oh, except when the team of players I care about go to the World Series.

Ned almost losing it emotionally with Ernie on that stage was all time awesome. This team, man. I'll never forget em

MY experience is that short men tend to skew douchey. Some Napoleonic thing. Add the fact that he's from Massachusetts....and well, what more needs to be said really?

If you aren't emotional over this run then what in the entire **** do you care about the team for?

You're on a sports message board. It takes a lot of emotional capability to be so nerdy that you post daily on a sports message board. If you aren't posting here out of significant emotional investment in sports then you're probably a straight-up sociopath.
