Title: So, this is a thing that is happening now
Post by: Q. G. Pennyworth on February 21, 2012, 01:21:46 AM
TNT's coverage of the basketball game today includes their celebration of commentator Charles Barkley's 49th birthday. They got him a cake in the shape of a big number 50, and he's getting a mani/pedi on air. They periodically cut in to poorly photoshopped pictures of "previous birthday celebrations."

WHEN THE FUCK DID THE NERDS TAKE OVER SPORTS? WHY WAS I NOT INFORMED?

Sports fans have always been nerds. How is talking about sports stats and last night's game any different than talking about attribute bonuses and last night's D&D session?

One of them is just more socially acceptable.

That's the one I make money off of, because MOST sports nerds are in fact so nerdy that they bet like fans.

Speaking of which, I'm ready anytime to take your bet on the Raiders to be superbowl champs next year.

Wait.  What?  You think I'm going to bet on the Raiders?  They have made me lots of money by choking.
