It may be a fake post but as the old saying goes ; "Sports do not build character, it reveals character ".

I think you should make fake posts under a bunch of different names in City Data. Oh wait...

Yeah, seriously. The superbowl was almost two weeks ago. That's old news now.

Also, who eats spaghetti while watching the superbowl?

Clearly, you people don't understand sports fans. This post may or may not be fake, but stuff like this happens. During football season, I have to fight really hard not to throw the remote into the TV screen when I'm watching my team screw up. If it were my TV, it probably would have been busted by now. I watch football and basketball with family, though.

Us sports fans don't play when it comes to our team, man. If I were a Denver fan, I would have been tempted to do more than throw spaghetti on the TV with as ridiculous as they looked during the Superbowl. It's not losing that's the problem; it's how they do it that makes us lose it. You can't possibly understand if you're not seriously into a team.

Wow, if watching sports on your tv, influences you to want to damage or mistreat it then it's TIME for a different hobby altogether, I don't care HOW passionate you are about the sport.

It's just a game dude.

I never understood why people would get so upset over something as trivial and utterly meaningless as sports. Gas prices may suddenly go up a dollar a gallon overnight and people might balk but if some local sports team loses a game people just lose their minds and are rioting in the streets and throwing spaghetti!

Get your priorities straight

Perhaps this happens to compulsive gamblers.

I was going to ask if the OP's friend was a gambler - he might have lost big on the game.
