"If people concentrated on the really important things in
life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles." - Doug Larson

I've often said the very same thing about sports fans - and I've been criticized (heavily) over my opinion. But I'm going to stand by it. I really believe that if people spent as much time on self improvement or advancing their lives and/or careers, their health, their relationships etc as they do memorizing sports scores, team trades or other statistics, they and the economy might be in a better position. I have nothing against people participating in sports, but those couch potatoes who waste their whole Sunday on Football  - how is that making their lives, or the lives of others better?

I'm curious, what do you think about this?
