Fi is a huge basketball fan. Ever since the trade where Lebron joined Wade, along with Bosh, he's become a huge heat fan. When the heat were doing well in the first half he was hailing King James and all that Jazz. I messed around and called him Lebrick cause he's a choker in the clutch of a game. He got very upset with me and said we would have a falling out if I called him Lebrick again. I just laughed cause I think FI is just a bandwagon fan. When we met he was originally a Celtic fan. Well Heat ended up giving away a 24 pint lead to lose the game to the Magic. FI was HEEEEEAAAATTTED! All I could do was laugh. We were about to log off and I said I love you and he was like I love u still but now despises the Heat and is returning to the Celtics.
I write all of this to ask, do any of your FI's take sports waaaay to seriously. I mean he's now saying how he HATES the Heat and he now hates my city Miami ( I dont like it either for my own reasons). All I could do is laugh.
What have been your experiences with FI's and sports?

Thankfully I don't challenge him about any of them so I could careless but other people do and when they do he is going for their head.
1. go into another room and watch girly tv and let him have his manly time
2. join in on the excitement, cook up some snacks and make a party of it lol

LOLOL! Its true about going for their head. I mean had we been together and I would have talked smack about the Heat he probably would have had my head. He was very intense vis MSN messenger. Was about to toss the PC and he was at work!

Oh goodness....exactly! He bought a beer & some snacks for the first game Melo played with the Knicks. Smh....lol.
I'm no basketball fan, but during football season, we are enemies. I'm a Skins fan (yes I said it & don't judge me) & FIs a Giants fan. For non-football fans, they're in the same division. But I'm the one who usually has to take a break if I'm pissed at the game before I break something!

My Planning Bio
[QUOTE]FI is a SPORTS fan period. I have watched every sport within the past 3 years. With the phillies going to the world series and playoffs 3 years in a row and the the flyers going to the (whatever the hockey championship game is called) I have had my share of sports. I am also forced to listen to sports talk radio at night. This is TMI but I have made love to ESPN radio waaaaay too many times. FI isn't a bandwagon fan but he is a sports lover and it gets on my nerves. We sat in the car last week outside of a store listening to an interview with the eagles owner, if I would have allowed it, we would've been in the car for 30 more minutes to listen to people call in and comment on the interview. I can go on and on about FI addiction to sports talk radio.

Oh my heart goes out to you. Luckily FI only watches SportsCenter every morning for thr recap. Im lucky that cricket isnt a popular sport here cause when he comes I would have to watch that long boring sport as well.

I happen to like basketball and football, so we watch the games together - it actually is a fun experience for us.
My FI also listens to sports talk radio (Detroit sports talk radio). He also calls into the shows to express his opinion. LOL!
But he's more into men's college basketball than I am, and he takes this to a whole 'nother level. He loves the University of Cincinnati Bearcats...he's still mad at the former school president for forcing out the basketball coach six years ago. He will not even converse when their games are on, he has to intently listen as well as watch. He also follows everything about them religiously. He also hates Xavier (their in-town rival) with a passion and avoids even wearing their colors. When they were in the Sweet Sixteen the last time (I think it was the last time), he got really mad when Xavier extended the game into overtime and slammed his hands down in fury.
