I'm just wondering how much of a freak I am...
I have not the slightest interest in any sport and I never have. There, I said it!
I could not name 10 current NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL players if the prize was a million dollars. I have removed all of the sports channels from the lineup on my STB. I live 5 minutes away from the Bell Centre in Montreal and have never been to a hockey game. I have given away several sets of hockey tickets I have won or been given by work (including two tickets to watch the game from a luxury box with famous players from the past).
This has been a slight embarassment to me throughout my working life. I cannot fake my way through a conversation about "the big game last night". The last time I was dragged to a Super Bowl party I spent most of the day playing video games with the kids.
Whenever I start a new job I feel like I have a big secret that I will eventually have to confess. I have been openly ridiculed by colleagues and bosses about this.
This all happened because I was totally obsessed with cars when I was a kid and simply had no room in my brain for any other information.
Any other guys with a similar situation? I have never met another guy with as extreme a dis-interest in sports as I have.
