re: Family and friends asking stupid football questions during the holidays

Today I learned that Joe Burrow is not going to enter the NFL draft because he does not want to play for the Bengals. This was stated as absolute fact.

When people ask those type of questions, I don’t engage.

I may give them the rundown of the basics, but I change the subject because whomever it may be, won’t be able to keep up with the conversation.

I just tell people like that...”google is your friend, ask him”

So, your in-laws have no interest in LSU, but they know that you do because it’s probably the most important thing in your life (which is sad). Then they make the effort to try to ask you about it in order to have a conversation with you, because you probably are terrible at having conversations outside of things you love like LSU, and then you come here and complain about it?

Yeah, they sound like the ones with the problem

Another pet peeve I have is false assumptions people make about others.

1. My in-laws are deceased.
2. My father in law played for LSU and my wife wears his “L” letter on a necklace so both her immediate family, my siblings and my sons love LSU.
3. I have always told employees I supervise that my top priorities in life are 1. My faith. 2. Family and friends 3. Fun, with includes LSU football.
4. I am guilty of using sarcasm. Sarcasm doesn’t translate well over the internet. Likewise, the Rant would not be a place I would come to with a serious “complaint”.

I will complain about internet police who lecture me on what I should write and attempt to describe me like they know me.

This kind of thing doesn’t bother me. However, when someone tells me after seeing me in LSU gear, that they too, are huge LSU fans. Then follow that up with “how did their football team do this year?”.......
Seriously. WTF???
