In case you haven’t seen it, a recent ESPN Page 2 article outlined the “20 things that make you a sports doofus”. I am picking through the list one by one and giving my opinion on each of the 20 items, and then stating whether I agree with the author, or whether the author is the real doofus (you can read prior critiques here: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7). Please be sure to leave a comment with your opinion. By the way, who says the word ‘doofus’ anymore anyway?
Doofus item #8: Being too cool for the kiss cam
My first reaction to reading his response to this one is utter confusion. He’s basically blasting people for not being daring enough to smooch on the kiss cam, yet in his previous entry he was giving people a hard time for being daring and proposing on the JumboTron. Hmmm…he seems a little confused if you ask me.
Also, the author is “that guy” and obviously not “That Fan”, because “That Fan” would never make a doofus reference to Sixthpence None the Richer to begin with. He must be “that guy” who also has Wilson Phillips on his iPod, and when he is ridiculed from his friends for this, he blames it on him having 10,000 songs on his iPod (naturally a moderately embarrassing song must have passed through the cracks, right?).
Whether the author is confused or listens to amazing horrible music is not the issue at hand, however. We are here to state whether we agree with him or not, and as much as it pains me to say this, That Fan does agree with him on this one. What is wrong with a little mild PDA in public? If you’re not comfortable with that then I suggest staying home since you obviously don’t want to be seen in public with your significant other anyway. Or at the very least stay away from the punt-blocking megatron at Cowboys Stadium unless you want an astronaut seeing your awkward kiss from the Space Station. Just be thankful your significant other is cool enough to attend the game in the first place.
That Fan verdict: The author is correct again…he is back to batting .500 (4-4)
