Why don't people watch sports? Clue me in.
Advertisements [?]
Tiger Woods walking 18 holes on a broken leg to win the US Open?
Michael Jordan, hanging in the air, waiting for Craig Ehlo to drift past, before nailing a championship winning jumper?
Cal Ripken Jr. going deep the night he tied Lou Gherig with 2,130 consecutive games played, then doing it AGAIN, the next night, while breaking what many had considered to be an unbreakable record?
Michael Phelps, making up three body lengths in 50 meters, to keep alive his dream of 8 Olympic gold medals?
The USA Olympic hockey team taking down the Russian juggernaut in 1980?
Tom Dempsey, with half a foot, kicking a game-winning field goal, while setting a new NFL distance record?
Jackie Robinson, not only breaking the color line, but also being named NL Rookie of the Year?
Jason McElwain, the NY kid with Down's syndrome, coming off the bench in a high school game and draining 20 points in 3 minutes?
The Texas Western basketball team, with 5 African-American starters, knocking off Adolph Rupp's heavily favored all-white team, to win an NCAA championship?
My son, hitting a game-winning, walk-off, two-run double to win his district championship last year?


Yeah, I just don't get why anyone doesn't watch sports.
