As for the Kentucky Derby, I'm not one to wager money on any kind of event. I don't even place bets on the quarter horses my father-in-law owns. Not for me.
I really only care about team loyalty, and don't get angry per se, but the call to wish the bastard well rankles me.

Sports are entertainment and entertainment is a matter of competition which those of us who are Type As take seriously.

I'm not a Type A, so I just can't see things as you do in that regard.

As for competition, when I stepped on to the ball diamond, I was all about winning and doing everything I could to get that win. But when I walked off the diamond, the game that day was over.
