About 2 AM they were in the third overtime and someone called "Time Out" once too often. I thought...."fuck it. I don't care that much" and shut it off and went to bed. Haven't watched since.
I know how to hold a grudge, man.

You're not the only one. Way back when major league baseball went on strike I expunged them from my give-a-shit list. Honestly though, the only thing I ever really liked about baseball was the rare moment of drama - as when Kirk Gibson hit a homer on a gimpy knee to win a world series game against the A's (I think) and the stats. The actual flow of the game always bored me. But I'm happy to have so much more free time without that obsession. I've also taken concussion ball (NFL) off the list and that has given me so many freed up Sundays.
Now basketball (college and pro), X games sports and Ninja Warrior is pretty much my only indulgences when it comes to sports. Being a GS Warriors fan has gotten a lot more fun in the last few years than it had been for the previous few decades. Run TMC was always just a novelty, not a serious go at winning anything for my money. It galled me to have pastor Mark Jackson as the warriors's coach. Not only the god bothering but also the talk tough to psych the players up but then provide almost no meaningful offense ideas apart from take-your-turn hero-ball. So glad they got rid of that bozo.
