I’ve always followed sports and played a lot of different ones in my younger days (not so much these days as Shea said she’d divorce me if I started keeping hockey equipment in the house ever again!) but I don’t think I’ve ever been fanatical in following sports to an unhealthy degree.
With that said, I’ve definitely let myself be overly attached and emotional or even moderately obsessive about certain sports/teams/players/championship runs at different times – the NHL in general and Islanders specfically when I was a kid, the Flames’ run in 2004 when we were living in Calgary a few blocks from the Red Mile, the Blue Jays’ Two World Series wins, the Riders on the rare occasions they’re good, etc.
The fine folks at Calgary Puck recently had a great thread about how to take sports less seriously with tons of good tips.
