Athiests, sports bettors, and fantasy football junkies: Who gets to heaven?

I've always said (to myself mostly): Religious people do the right thing because they fear the consequences of sin. Athiests do the correct thing because it is the right thing to do.

Sports bettors and fantasy league players take all the fun out of watching sports for themselves, football in particular.

For example, The Man Formerly Known as The Boston Sports Guy bet AGAINST the Pats on yesterday's Broncos game. The BSG bet against a Boston team? So you're telling me, Bill, that you were actually applauding the crappy refereeing going on? Saying "Hip, hip hooray" when some unkown wide receiver from a DII school made two nice plays for Plummer in the first half? Come on, that's ridiculous.

Is it me or does it make no sense to cheer for players, not teams? Does it seem stupid to worry about your fantasy roster all having good weekends, and not caring who wins and loses?

You can have your Rotisserie Baseball, your NFL fantasy league. Those are as tired as tattoos.

Me, I cheer for the laundry, not the number.
