[Carl Westberg]

And what if one has a fondness for, (gulp), both?  Sports and sports video games.  Not that I would be speaking of myself.  Huh-uh.  No way.  Not me.  Just asking.  I personally am far too serious about life to waste my time on such things.  Just wondering.  Really.  Carl Westberg Jr.
