Casual sports fan

Anyone ever have a casual sports fan try and impress you talking sports but just be so blatantly wrong and get adamant about what they're talking about?

Yesterday a guy was trying to convince me that Michael Jordan was drafted by the Blazers.

I told the guy he wasn't but he wasn't having any of it. So I just smiled and let it go.

I don't know if those people just assume that everybody is as dumb about sports as them or what.

 

I work with somebody that has NO FUCKING CLUE when it comes to basketball. It's hilarious......

 

...that is very common for the "1-upper" mentality and very annoying for those that actually know shit!

 

Whats more annoying is when someone actually follows the team and still doesn't have a clue what the fuck is going on. Like all the Lamarcus haters who want to trade him because they are pissed that we are probably not making the playoffs this year.

 

This thread isn't about complaining about other S2 posters. Your contribution was worthless and childish.

 

Thanks for your contribution as well. Ill make sure to get your approval on all my post from now on.

 

That's called an opinion. You know the difference, right?

 

Check the Blazer page on Facebook, it's a treasure trove of casual fans that don't know shit.

 

Ok then, I agree. I hate it when someone gets the facts wrong about the Blazers. Chaps my hide.

 

yes

i have a buddy that will try and tell me all about the top story on espn every day, but not really have any idea what he is talking about

hilariousness

 

I try to fucking destroy them in front of their loved ones. that's what's up.

 

"did you hear about lance armstrong?"

 

I tell them about how Adam Morrison is still going to be a great NBA player!

 

a guy out here was pumped about ochocinco on the pats, like he was the missing piece "gonna give them the long ball"... but they were turned off by his off the field problems "with the law" (this was before the domestic thing)

 

Rampage Jackson is still the man, right?

 

My favorite is when someone expresses an opinion very similar to what was written in the paper that very morning. I don't know how many times I wanted to explain Bird rights to someone but decided not to bother. I usually just let them talk and play dumb. Small talk is part of our culture, so I don't hold it against anyone. I actually really appreciate people who don't give a shit about sports.

 

A good buddy of mine is a UFC fanboy. Saying he's gonna start training and take a crack at it. Its kinda nauseating.

 

Do you vietnamese stab them with forks?

 

Step up your game, Will Ferrell wannabe.
