"You know the best thing I did for myself during the past five years? I told sports to go take a flying fuck. I was fed up with the way I related to professional sports, so I reordered the relationship on my own terms. I became a little more selective.
I couldn’t believe how much time I had wasted watching any old piece of shit ballgame that happened to show up on TV. I must have thought there was some inborn male obligation to tune in and root every time a bunch of sweaty assholes got together to mix it up in a stadium somewhere.
I also realized I was wasting perfectly good emotional energy by sticking with my teams when they were doing poorly. My rooting life was scarcely better than those Cubs fans who think it’s a sign of character to feel shitty all the time. It’s absurd.
I decided it’s not necessary to suffer and feel crappy just because my teams suck. What I do now is cut ‘em loose for awhile. I simply let them go about losing, as I go about living my life. Then, when they’ve improved, and are doing well once again, I get back on board and enjoy their success."

Translation: I'm only gonna be a fan when they're winning.
Yeah he's just describing a typical bandwagon fan. Oh that George Carlin, I hate him, he's so smug!

I read his biography. He had quite the life. Military, TV and then stand-up. And he was an addict who somehow made it work.

The air's clean, the water's clean. Even the dirt, it's clean! Bowling averages are way up. Mini golf scores are way down. And we have more excellent waterslides than any other planet we communicate with!

Sure is a long way from Biff Burns Sportlight Spotlight: "And here's a partial score: Pittsburgh - 37!".

Why didn't they use "Faith" or "Father Figure" or something from his Wham! days as the theme song? I could never understand that. |

I was sort of the Adam Dunn of tennis. First few serves I swung at and missed by a mile. The final one I hit and we never found the ball. It was an upper-deck shot. |
