Sports fans are nerds too. They exhibit all the classic symptoms: devoted memorization of endless statistics/facts/sets of rules/etc., construction of a carefully themed and decorated nerd cave, tabletop gaming/fanfic (fantasy football leagues), camping out for tickets, cosplay (football jerseys, anyone?), social awkwardness/inability to discuss other topics, etc..

I still feel completely lost on the whole thing, maybe my wife will be able to explain it to me.

Sun, 03 Feb 2013 13:10:51 +0000 http://www.sfsignal.com/?p=70969#comment-132261 That was fun, thanks for posting it. As big as a nerd/geek as I lay claim to being in regards to SFF I am also a big football nerd. I follow the NFL season religiously and as excited as I am about getting together with family and friends today to watch the game, I am melancholy about the months ahead with no NFL games on television. Happy Superbowl Sunday to all you football fans out there. Happy day filled with other goodness to the rest of you.
