Petty Irritation of the Weekend

I have an almost pathological need to correct people (men) when they get sports trivia incorrect. I can't resist pointing out how they are getting some basic fact wrong. It's highly entertaining. Attending a sporting event is the perfect place to hear all sorts of misinformation as well as "knowledgeable commentary" on the game playing out in front of the crowd. Friday's Sonics game was fantastic for this type of thing (it's almost like people watching but it requires you to have good hearing so you can eavesdrop). I learned some great things that night. Did you know that Nick Collison's Kansas Jayhawk team won the national championship? Did you also know that Earl Watson is Sonics' legend Slick Watts' son? The guy sitting next to me did correct his friend on the Earl Watson issue, but the Kansas thing was great. Kansas did not win the national championship while Collison was in school. They lost the championship game to Syracuse (Carmelo Anthony). I realize that this is an obscure piece of trivia but still, the guy stated it with such conviction that it took all the restraint I possess to hold my tongue. The best part was that the more beer they drank, the louder and more "knowledgeable" they became. Awesome! It's why I spend money on tickets...To be fair, I'm sure I'm just as annoying to some people. I like to comment on the qualityh of the officiating. I'm trying to get better about it. Really.
