Why do I always get into stats?

A few years ago, my son joined me to watch a Wizards game. Somehow, he stuck with the broadcast through my frequent pauses to break down plays. I explained sundry topics like why a player praised for being a good defender actually wasn’t. Or where the team’s offensive plays were breaking down. Or how the opponent was targeting weaker defenders by design.

Anyway, Steve Buckhantz was rat-a-tatting stats like: The Wizards have the third most offensive rebounds since January fifth or some such nonsense. WASHINGTON LEADS THE NBA IN THIRD QUARTER SCORING ON TUESDAY NIGHTS WITH A 7:30 TIP-OFF!
