Sport Vs Scripted idea what do you fancy ?
Sports are awesome because they arecompletely unpredictable. For an example: use the stereotypical Star Trek or Futurama geek. How many times do they watch the same episodes over and over ?
Do you watch a game over & over? Hell, if someone tells you the score & you've pvr'd the game, you're pissed! It's the unpredictability, the drama.
You have to be left & right brained to be an analytical person & a sports fan. Because you have some emotion, unpredictability, things that aren't really related to logic & reason... though when you understand sports
deeply, you can use logic & reason to predict outcomes, ie bookmakers.
I blame a friend of mine that wrote scripts. He use to bounce a lot of his idea's on me & ask for my perspective. Now when I think about TV or movies... We spoke about & somehow I have a certain insight now. I've learned some tricks of the trade & now I watch things that are scripted & it ruins it for me as I can usually guess what is going to happen. But with sports, even if you know what's going to happen, there's always the human element. Some people like reinforcement in their comfort zone. I want to be challenged. I enjoy being surprised.

I like both, if I think of turning on the TV, that is!
I love a good exciting match, rugby or soccer. Or hurling which is much more exciting than either of them.
I love a good action or thriller film.
But sometimes, I am happy just watching predictable TV which I don't have to concentrate too much on.
