Despite being an ordinary geek, I’m not normally a sports fan. That may sound a little abhorrent as the words “geek” and “sports” don’t normally mix unless there is the letter “e” thrown in there somewhere but really, sports fanatics are ordinary geeks. They pore over statistics and have encyclopaedic knowledge over things that really don’t matter. Not only this, but a lot of them will play something like fantasy football which is quite frankly a couple of twenty sided dice away from Dungeons and Dragons. It even has the word “fantasy” in the title. If die hard sports fans aren’t geeks, then they are exceptionally close cousins.
A friend of mine at work was telling me about the Raeburn Shield and I did find this to be quite an interesting idea and thought I would share.
