You know you might be a FSW addict if...

Be careful, you dont want him to grow up sounding like Nick Webster.

 

skysports fanzone


best show on tv...

 

.......you have every move and every word memorized of the US Special Forces commercial that is run at least 322 times a day on the channel.

 

My son does the same thing.

You know you might be a FSW addict if...your kid comes downstairs for breakast and before he does anything puts on a DVR of the EPL Review Show.

 

...you inexplicably start combing your hair like Max Bretos

...you realize that the 50 year-old grandma and the (former) fat teacher who doesn't want to eat sandwiches like Jarrod in the Bowflex commercials actually live in the same house with the same pool.

...you start laughing your a$$ off when Conor, who is "nationally ranked," pops on the screen.

 

This one is funny. I am in the same boat.

 

You start blaming the fact that you are fat on stress and your level of cortizone.

 

....when you know EXACTLY how long to fast forward the tivo to get from halftime break to highlights

 

... when you set your alarm to wake up at 4:30 in the morning for Girls Gone Wild informercials.



































What?

 

This is classic - everytime I see that I say "ranked in what????......height, or spelling, or basketweaving?????

Are we to assume he is a national ranked juggler??

Agree on the special forces commercial too. All the time...

 

... When you know every day that you wake up is going to be the most EPIC day yet.

... And when you know every day what color shirt/sweater Michelle Lissel wore the night before.

Hell, you're an addict if you know who the hell Michelle Lissel is.

 

I'm glad I'm not the only one that wonders just what exactly it means to be "nationally ranked."

 

It's no wonder Conor is nationally ranked. Have you seen the kids he's playing against? He's in a U-9 league for crying out loud.

 

I love the little kid that almost gets hit by the car in the old school kit. Funny stuff.
Another thing that makes me realize I am an FSW addict is that I catch myself sometimes humming the theme song to Dream Team. I will be watching tonight!!!

 

Yeah, the little jig the kid does to "avoid" falling into the street is good stuff. I'm sure they got that on one take.

 

When you talk about Dream Team plots to your non-soccer friends like it was a serious show like NYPD Blue.

 

...you think you need glasses until you realize that's actually how blurry the picture is.
...you know about everyone on Canada's Walk of Fame.
...you can't get the Body-Break jingle out of your head!
...you actually think Matt Brown gives useful information in his Rugby Report!
...you speak with a british or an australian accent and you are neither british nor australian.
...you actually care about Brazilian soccer!
...you miss Dutch soccer
...your hair looks like Oliver Kahn's
...you actually answer the question of the week, every week without fail!
...you wish you could subscribe to Sky Sports
...you know the difference between Rugby Union & League yet you are not an ex-patriot.
...you thought the commentator was an idiot the other day during the "Liberty Cup" when he referred to Rugby League as Australian Rules Football.
...you'd rather watch the MLS Cup than the SuperBowl.
...Australian Rules Football is your favorite sport on television.
...you know the name of every Australian Rules Football team.
...you actually don't think that "Out of Bounds" isn't just a cheap rip-off of TSN's "Off The Record".

 

Yeah, now I know I'm in trouble.

 

...if, after all those hours of watching, you *still* think Max Bretos blows.

 

....if your posting on the FSW board at 3am because there is nothing good on FSW at 3am.

 

You complain about how today's FSW personalities couldn't hold Lionel Bienvenue's jock to family members who have zero clue about who or what you're rambling about.

 

Lionel was the man, he used to sign off with something, anyone remember what it was?

 

...The fake camera smile of Sean Weelock and the sideways stare of John Harkes on MLS Wrap scare the neighborhood children

...your 3-year old knows clubs like "Bolton Wanderers", "Blackburn Wanderers" and "WBA" rather than Los Angeles Lakers, Philadelphia Phillies and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

...your 7 year old occasionally busts out with a "spot on" or "that was a cracker of a match" comment while watching EPL Review Show.

...You know when winter has arrived in Winnipeg based on the sweaters worn by Michelle Lissel.

...Your friends confuse you watching Sky Sports News for Bloomberg News when they spot your TV with the volume down.

...you start believing that there must be something to the weight loss products that are pimped on FSW.

...you plan your whole weekend two weeks in advance after the FSW schedules inPDF appear on the FSW website.

...Even worse, you look to see what matches FSW Canada will be showing and thinking "Damn it must be great to live in Canada" because they will have the Arsenal-Chelsea match live, while in the US we have to wait until Wednesday," and then slap yourself back to reality realizing that it would suck to be Canadian.

 

You long for "My game, my world, my life."
