I don't know why I was never really a sports fan, because my mother and grandmother were avid sports fans. I can remember my grandmother had a television schedule.  It went something like: Tuesday, bowling leagues, Saturday Baseball or Football or Basketball which ever season.  She had terrible degenerative arthritis and had a hard time walking.  It had starte...
