The experience, and sports fans have all had it, is such a disappointment. You’ve just seen, for example, an incredible come-from-behind Celtics win with a buzzer-beating game-winning shot to sweeten the victory, and all you want before work the next morning is someone to celebrate with at the coffee station at Cumby’s. So there’s a guy stirring his cream in, wearing a camo jacket — okay, regular guy — and you go, “Did you see that shot by Marcus Smart last night?”

“Uh, I don’t really follow sports.”
