Well, as much as I hate to admit it, there's nothing wrong with 
*playing* sports - good for the body, good for the mind, good for the soul.

But *watching* professional sports on TV? Eeeewww. I'd much rather watch 
SpongeBob or South Park or Stargate. They're all about as educational as 
sports shows and twice as entertaining.

I do a Unix class here every so often. Since most of the people who 
attend are from out of town, we like to have some type of entertainment 
for a couple of evenings, while they're here. For the last class, we 
went to a Pirate game. I *begged* to get out of it, but my management 
didn't think it would be appropriate, since I'm the primary teacher. 
It's not often I'm *that* bored.
