Me: So what do you think about the Super Bowl this weekend? Think the Pats'll blow 'em out?
Indie Sports Fan: Psh, who even cares about the Super Bowl? The whole thing is just a ploy by the big sports companies to sell advertising. It's not even about the game anymore, it's all about money.
Me: Yeah, I know man, it's all just a big hype machine now, I've gotten pretty sick of hearing about the Patriots every single day all season.
ISF: Tell me about it, I used to like the Patriots back in the early 90s, when they had guys like Andre Tippett and Sam Gash, you know, back before they started selling out. That was their best stuff.
Me: You mean before they started winning?
ISF: I guess if you wanna define sports in terms of wins and losses... but it's about more than that for me, just because a team has a lot of good players and wins a lot of games doesn't make them good.
Me: So who do you like?>
