1. one of my aunt's is fanatical about little league--

her stepson's play and i guess they are really good-they travel ridiculous distances to see them play...

i guess it's good to be supportive, but i can't imagine the pressure on the kids...

when i was in school, i couldn't get my parents to drive a half a mile to my high school to see me in a play... bah.

2. Major league sports.

When our state's team lost in the Superbowl, there was an article in the paper about some fans who actually had to go into counseling to deal with the disappointment.

16. "American Idol"

The other day, Yahoo news had a thing about some contestant being kicked off the show or whatever. "American Idol" is a television show. Anything that happens isn't news. IMO.
