Sports overload

Most of us are familiar with the term 'information overload'. It is the availability of excessive information and the helplessness of not knowing how to deal with it. This season, most of the sports-loving males of the species Homo sapiens seem to be suffering from the problem of 'sports overload'. For starters, there was the French Open which will soon be followed by Wimbledon. Then every Sunday, there is the familiar sight of Alonso taking the podium (the way Schumacher used to do last year) in the Formula 1 Grand Prix. The gaze of three-fourths of all the Indians is fixed on the heroics (and sometimes the lack of it) of Rahul Dravid & Company in the ongoing cricket tour of the Carribean Islands. To top it all, we have the 'baap' of all sporting events - the football world cup - which will last a month. The whole world will watch the magic of Ronaldinho, Beckham, 'Zizou' etc with bated breath.

Then for all us 'brown asses' here in the US who are also interested in American sports, there are the NBA (Basketball) and Stanley Cup (Ice hockey) finals while the baseball season is in full swing.

What do you do with this overload? Simple. Switch on the TV, invite your friends over, watch the games, have petty arguments and discussions and in general, have fun!!!
