Hard to Understand

A friend took me aside recently. She had watched two co-workers engage in an hour-long conversation about college football and wanted to ask me something.

How can they do that?

She really had no idea how two people could carry on a conversation about sports for so long. She admitted that she tried to get into sports in the past, but just couldn’t maintain an interest. When she finished, I had a confession to make.

I envied her. I envy every single person who can walk around without having sports fill their brain with possibilities and arguments and everything else that goes along with being a fan.
