As a guy, I think that automatically makes me a fan of sports. Now while I like some sports more than others (the NHL and MLB trounce NASCAR and the NBA), I still try to find any information, even if it's the stats of a player I despise.
- For further reference see: Beltran, Carlos; Brady, Tom; Hasek, Domink.
However, it's more than just stats. The site espn.com is a place where you can not only watch clips from games, mainly highlights, but also hear interviews and listen to games through on-line radio. For a sports fan, this is important. My buddy Ryan, or as he shall be called from her on out, Woody, is a high school buddy of mine and loves the St. Louis Blues. His problem is he goes to school in Tulsa, Oklahoma. FSN Midwest doesn't carry that far, so he can't watch many games. However, through sites like espn.com, he can listen to the game and keep tabs on it. This is a huge deal to fans who want to see and hear their favorite team when they live in an unfriendly location. From Tulsa to Japan to Iraq. As long as there's an Internet connection (and a set of speakers), a game can be heard from anywhere. And for sports fans like myself, that's a victory.
A shout to Woody. I know you heard tonight's game. Hope you enjoyed it.
