It is kind of simple, kind of complicated. I follow UCLA football very closely, as painful as that is. I follow what is going on in the news cycle for other teams that UCLA plays, or college football in general, but very casually. I don’t watch many other games with any interest really other than to kill some time, if I have it, and kick back a bit. If a USC game is on and I am just hanging around, I will watch it, but I am usually doing something else as well like smoking ribs or a brisket or in the pool and have it on outside so I flip through the games a bit each time I grab a frosty beverage. If I am in the house (if I am let inside, haha) I bogart the TV in the den/kitchen just to make sure the wife and kids won’t turn on something stupid like Dance Moms while I am in the room. But I have to be smart about it. We all have that “line in the sand” of football watching time where it goes from “Oh you work so hard and provide so much for us, we are thriving because of you. Please by all means, kick your feet up, have a drink and enjoy yourself, can I do anything to make you more comfortable” to “Get the fuck off the couch you lazy piece of shit and do something productive, can’t you see all the laundry I have done…blahblahblah”. So, in order to catch an NFL game on Sunday, I have to forego a lot of the college games that I really don’t care about, and USC is often one of them. Besides football, I really don’t watch any other sports outside of Hockey, and that is getting rarer and rare as well. I have a problem with dudes who watch it all. And then listen to Dan Patrick on the way to work, and Ugly Petros on the way home. I don’t think it is healthy to be that immersed in sport watching, and I really believe it is masking either depression or a major personality disorder. You can tell me what the on base percentage is of that dillweed the Cubs just brought up from the minors but you can’t tell me what is going on with the big sale you are supposedly working on with three days left to go in the quarter? Lame as shit. So, sorry to burst your bubble I guess, but I only follow USC at an arms distance. I know a lot of the stuff that is going on and love to throw a fast ball to the nuts if I am able, but that is the extent of it. USC football doesn’t really matter to me in the big picture.
