Do you ever get burnt out on a sport?

I called so many baseball games this weekend that I dont even want to watch another baseball game for a while...anyone ever just get tired of watching a sport? besides the basics like soccer and hockey? lol

I called 3 tonight and my supervisor decided to make up a rule about guy to girl ratio and then she left halfway through the game so id have to deal with all the crap talking...needless to say, i told the team that lost that I would definately protest this game and that I would vouch for them cuz this supervisor was pretty shady and apparently I was the only one on staff that knew anything about the game lol

Then when season is over I am all sad lol

If you're actually participating in the sport, then I can see how you get burned out. You've got more time and effort invested than the average fan just watching a game. You must be there at the game at a certain time and must stay till a certain time. Fans can show up when they want and leave when they want, so it is not nearly as stressful. :D

That's just cause you have to watch Decatur. I'd get burnt out too if I was watching that blue business. :D ;)

We can't get burnt out. My ten year old still has ten tourneys left, the last one lasts a week in Frisco. (http://www.superseriesbaseball.com/frisco.asp) We still have a lot of traveling left.

I can get pretty burnt out on football about this time of year because off-season can get really boring but now Im missing it becuase I cant workout since I had my finger ripped off and had to get it re-attached.
