We're not here for the game. The game is nothing. The game is crap. The game makes me sick! The real reason we Americans put up with sports is for this: Behold the tailgate party. The pinnacle of human achievement. Since the dawn of parking lots, man has sought to stuff his gut with food and alcohol in anticipation of watching others exercise. --Homer Simpson
"If I were playing third base and my mother were rounding third with the run that was going to beat us, I'd trip her. Oh, I'd pick her up and brush her off and say, 'Sorry, Mom,' but nobody beats me." ~ Leo Durocher
A spectator sits and merely observes, but a fan is someone who gets into a game and tries to help his team win.
