Growth spurts from 6th-9th grades made sports a horrible experience. Hell, I didn't know where my feet were then. I was a music kid at a jock high school, and that cemented my desire to get the hell out of Dodge for college and very rarely return, which is what I did. In my professional life, I followed enough sports so that I could talk the talk in a corporate setting, but that was about it. I enjoy sitting through a pro baseball game once or twice each summer, and that's enough.
