Alright, let’s talk sports & television.
I am the biggest sports fanatic that you could imagine – for all the sports! Very rarely can you catch me watching reality TV or primetime TV shows. The two exceptions are Hawaii Five-O and NCIS: Los Angeles. Every Friday at 9:00 pm sharp, I watch Hawaii Five-0 with my dad & NCIS: LA on Sunday nights is a must. I cannot get enough of either show! LL Cool J always keeps my attention no matter what.
Sports Fanatic
Other than those two, though, I’m always watching some kind of sport. In the fall & winter, on Sunday, Monday, and Thursday, it’s all about NFL football. Saturdays are for college football & from April through October, baseball is calling my name. Fall & winter also bring on college & NBA basketball & I’m glued to the TV for that, as well. I played golf in high school so I even enjoy watching the tournaments on the weekends throughout the summer! So many of my girlfriends spend their time watching the Kardashian’s or the Bachelor and I just can’t get into them like I get into sports! I love attending, watching on TV, & even playing all the sports. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with reality TV or any other kind of show – they really just don’t hold my attention like sports do. There’s something about the high of the players, of the coaches & of the crowd in each game that I just cannot get enough of!
Baseball Babe
In the summertime, there is literally no place in the world I would rather be than at the ballpark with friends and family cheering on our favorite teams. It’s my ultimate happy place. Since I was a little girl, sports have been life. See photo from first Chicago Cubs game below. And please excuse the poor photo quality, photography has come a long way since the early 90s.
I’m particularly biased toward the University of Louisville Cardinals for all college sports. I love the Los Angeles Clippers as my NBA favorite, the Minnesota Vikings & Houston Texans for pro football, & the Chicago Cubs as my favorite major league baseball team. When none of those teams are playing, I still manage to find some kind of sport to put on TV when I’m home. You’re probably wondering how on earth I got to be a fan of all those random teams in various places across the country. Truthfully, I’m a fan of certain players on each team & have grown to be a fan of the entire teams. I mean really, who isn’t a fan of JJ Watt?!
Netflix Anyone?
I’ve tried watching Netflix series & getting addicted to shows like The Walking Dead or American Horror Story but I really can’t seem to get into them no matter how hard I try. I just can’t keep my undivided attention on the television for that long.
How many of you all love to binge watch shows on the weekend or on snow days? What are your favorites?? Help me! I’d love to get into more shows than the typical crime shows & sports games that I normally watch but I definitely need some guidance.
I do realize I’m at a much different place in my life than a lot of you. I’m not raising a family or trying to run a household. I cannot imagine how much stress, time, & energy goes into raising children! With all of the adulting that’s required, I know there’s not really so much time for just hanging around watching sports or any major TV time, for that matter.
Who Else is With Me?
The amount that I love sports can’t be that weird, is it? Does anyone else LOVE sports as much as I do? Soccer moms? Dance moms? Although I’m not a mother yet, I really look forward to the day when I’m able to take my children to their practices, games & tournaments, if they opt to play sports or take lessons of some kind.
Tell me your favorite sports teams! Any teams you just can’t bear to watch? What do you do when your kiddos are at practice?
