Because at that moment you go from a lazy potato chips ‘n’ naps fan laying on the couch in a crumb-covered pile of sweatpants, bedhead, and BO to an insightful sports critic with a sharp eye, quick tongue, and backup second career.
AWESOME!

even more awesome when you know nothing about the sport.
It makes you feel smarter. Sometimes you say the announcer is smart for thinking what you were thinking.
This Happened once…… “Look at the ste of tits on that sumo wrestler”…. man that was awesome
This is the best when no one agrees with what you’re saying, the commentator says exactly what you just said, and you get some justification / backup for the point you were making. Awesome.

Unless Pierre Maguire is the one who says it, then you look like a goof.
Even better is when all your comments from half of a game mentioned by the pundits at half/full time.
Are you making the preposterous suggestion that sports commentators are clever and insightful?
its even better as a girl, watching with a roomful of guys:) of coarse they all stop and stare with awe!
This actually should happen more often since many announcers are absolutely brain damaged. Great post, even greater blog, I’m a regular reader from here on out.
happens to us all.
This never happens to me, since I’m not into sports, but my husband is quite good at this. We both also enjoy a similar game – predicting the next line of dialogue on a TV show or movie.
A fun moment comes to mind from probably the only time we ever watched that early ’90′s David E. Kelley schlock-fest known as “Picket Fences”. One of the characters was clearly leading up to laying some bad news on us. During the dramatic pause, my husband blurts out “Don’t say you have cancer! Don’t say you have cancer!” I doubt there has ever been a similar reaction to the words “I have cancer” than there was that night.
Can happen….
Biggest turn on EVER when I guy says something more clever and before the sports commentator. It makes me feel like I’m with a true alpha male. yum!
I take sincere pride in the fact that I do this most of the time when Joe Rogan is commenting on a UFC fight.
PMSL. Right on, boy, right on. LOL
word! makes me feel like a genius
Happens all the time…my family & friends think I know all there is to know about sports! Whats even better is predicting actual scores before they happen…
Well, these are interesting thoughts. I think they are true. However, everything is
relative and ambiguous to my mind.
Hehe when this happens I wonder if I’m psychic
Superbowl Sunday…that’s how i spend it. annoys the crap out of my boyfriend and his friends.
Even better when you call something right before the ref calls it.

I’m not really into sports but my brother does this all the time lol
This happens to me all the time when I watch football or basketball. I’ll even call plays and have people look at me with mouths agape.
The best is when you imitate the announcer’s mannerisms and voice and THEN make a call right before him, THAT kills!
I’ve also had it where I’d say multiple lines and multiple times in a row! That’s fun too.
And, yes, Christie,

It DEFINITELY makes you feel like a true Alpha male!
I’ve actually done that! Awesome. The next best thing is asking a question (while you are in your living room) and they actually answer it on tv. It’s almost like they heard you!

Can’t think, brain dumb, inspiration won’t come. Poor ink, lousy pen.
Best wishes AMEN!
ok. sometimes it happens a lot for me and it really freaks people out, even me at times!
You definitely impress people with this one! Everyone in the room thinks you’re a complete genius for the next 8 seconds for breaking down the play before it happens.
At an NBA game, I once called a travel from way up in the nosebleeds. Only two people in the whole building saw it: me, and then the ref. AWESOME!!!

Not my habit, but when my husband says it with the baseball game on it always is awesome!
When that happens it makes me feel so smart😄😊😃
