It must be a guy thing

Every week Alec has to do a current event. This week he did it on Sydney Crosby winning the Art Ross Trophy. Alec has started collecting hockey cards and start spitting off stats about different players and who’s on what team, etc. I’m glad he has something to share with his friends, to talk about except… Alec doesn’t even play hockey. He rambles on about stats and it’s a bit of deja vu because Kevin is the same way (or at least used to be) so he gets it honestly. But I think it’s also gotta be something linked to that y chromosome;) As you know I play basketball, played all through school as a kid. I know some names of the players and tidbits (afterall who doesn’t know about Steve Nash) and I know a bit about the teams. I couldn’t tell you who got the most points, etc. I rarely watch the games except for maybe play offs sometimes. Now, having said all that, I know plenty of guys that could care less about sports stats. But for the many, many guys out there who do follow them and know the intimate details about the players, their trades, what manager said what, do you think it might be that following sports like this is a bit of a male version of a soap opera as a friend of mine recently referred to it?;) Any men want to comment on that?;)
