I'm not sure if any of you are aware of The Sports Guy. I learned about him from my husband, a devout worshipper of sports of all kinds. At first, I thought that this person was simply a pundit who wrote articles and blogs about sports. But then I noticed that he had branched into other topics as well - including in-depth, frequent and lengthy analyses of current television programs like Mad Men. He has even ventured at times into the realm of marriage and parenthood.
Although my husband listened just as fervently to Sports Guy's podcasts on these subjects as he did to the legitimate sports-themed ones, I remained skeptical. If the dude is supposed to be analysing sports, what right does he have to branch out into babies and television? There was no need to colonise the entire spectrum of entertainment options!
Now that I myself am blogging about a somewhat focused activity, I can better understand his actions. While I won't be digressing into football or basketball myself, I can understand the need for diversity of thought. I can also see (vaguely) that a sports buff's thoughts on television may take a slightly more masculine approach. Similiarly, perhaps a baby momma's ideas about the world could take on a more maternal feel.
This is all hypothetical - as yet, while the potential target of affection is unborn, I have very little maternal feelings or expertise of my own. But it's entirely possible, and very likely, that having babies makes you respect the ideas of baby mommas. Perhaps a future as an ESPN columnist is in the cards for me after all.
