Men and sports

I can see why guys like sports. The cameraderie, the competion, the need to dominate and destroy-or at least watch somebody else dominate and destroy. I can even enjoy a good hockey or football game now and then. But there are some things I just don't get. Namely:
  • They can remember the stats from the last 30 Superbowls but cannot remember what kind of butter to get at the store...when it's WRITTEN DOWN for them.
  • They can grasp the intricacies of 8 different sports and their rules...but cannot grasp the simple process of turning their clothes right side out before they put them in the hamper.
  • They know the names of the players for every team in the NHL, but cannot remember the name of your cousin, who you speak of and to regularly.
  • Their team can be ahead by 100 points and there is no way the other team will come back, but they'll still get pissed if you suggest turning the channel when there are still 2 minutes left in the game.
  • They can talk to some guy they don't even know about the basketball game for two hours, but their wives can't manage to get two minutes of conversation about anything.
  • Baseball. I just don't get baseball at all.
