Nothing makes me more angry than girls that claim to be sports fans, but clearly have limited knowledge of sports. Ladies, just be quiet...you're making us look bad. For this reason, I'm starting a running list of stupid comments I hear from women discussing sports. I've given all these women nicknames. Here are a couple to start us off:
Patriots Fan: "Drew Bledsoe couldn't handle the pocket...the game got too fast for him."
X Back Commentary: How does someone possess an inability to handle the pocket? You are either a pocket passer or you're not (the latter tends to fail in the NFL). There is no such thing as a quarterback that "can't handle the pocket." The pocket is a delightful place for those with a good offensive line. Additionally, the game is no more "fast" now than it was in 1993, when Bledsoe was drafted. It is not as though we are discussing Otto Graham here. Besides, if the game was too fast for him, wouldn't Bledsoe then stay int the pocket? Points for knowing what a pocket is, but work on using it in context.
Red Sox Fan that claims to be a general baseball fan (comment made two weeks ago): Are the Angels winning their thing?
X Back Commentary: If by thing, you meant division, then yes they were. If you're a real baseball fan, you should be relatively familiar with the division leaders at any point in the season. It's ok if you only like the Red Sox, no one says you have to be an MLB fan.
Note: Men make stupid comments too. They will appear on this blog when I hear them.
