The days of caring more than I should are LONG gone.

The older I get the less passion I have for the old traditional team sports. I think because I have been such an ardent fan for so long I have become bored with them. Horse racing is a new challenge everyday and I have gravitated toward soccer because that is my son's sport. I think it interests me more because I am still learning nuances of the game. I also like that the game has running action and is over in less than two hours. Football has to many commercials and baseball is just to slow. I still enjoy hockey but being a Flyer fan and having to listen to the Penguin's announcers is just brutal.
