At 4-5 my son sat down and watched full hockey games. Don't know if he understood it then, but by 6-7 he did. Maybe some of it is the experience of something special, staying up late or spending time with a parent or Grandparent and he was playing then. That's what makes you a passionate fan, imo. Loving the game and making those connections with somebody important in your life. I'd bet your favorite sport is because of somebody that watched or took you to games or that you love playing it. |

I don't get the bernstein-esq arrogance. Who cares if the caller takes pride in stating s/he was at the game, is a lifelong fan, or finds talking to doug and OB an honor and a privilege? And why must every fan be an expert? If only experts attended or watched watched games and listened to sports radio stadiums would be mostly empty, ratings would be dismal, there wouldn't be much money for salaries and the whole thing would be pretty boring. |

Right. I would submit that "fan" and "expert" are often exclusive of each other. If you're an "expert" you start to focus on admiring LeBron James rather than rooting for Kirk Hinrich. But don't forget, bernstein was at every Bears game in 1995. That's how he knows Kramer wasn't as good as Cutler. |

You must state your qualifications before making statements! "I have coached Pop warner for 5 years, so I know what I am talking about" And that Meatball theory goes to most of the hosts too, because when a caller makes a claim, they asked where someone played! So this is not all on the callers! Hub as we all know has asked it and even the great dan bernstein asked it to caller ...'Where did you pkay" Of course Dan was the Media director for the Rockford lightning of the old CBA, so he must know what he is talking about! and dan watched duke practices too! and he watched it much better than anyone else. I would like to state I probably watched as many if not more dePaul practices and participated in scrimmages with the DePual womens team! also played 3 on 3 V T Green, R Strickland and Cye Strickland in a Tourney! "I will now hang up and listen for my answer" |
