I'm not a dedicated sports fan. I used to play basketball and football (American) with friends casually, but never on a team. Watching on TV is ok sometimes but again, never got into it seriously. There were two instances where I did pay attention. One is with basketball during the 1990's watching the Chicago Bulls. The other was the late 90's early 2000's watching Michael Schumacher/Ferrari F1.
My father was also not much of a sports fan but we watched these two with a lot of excitement and interest. Sometimes individuals and/or teams are just so good that it attracts those with no prior interest or knowledge of what they do. A special force that just draws you in and creates passion. I wish the best for Micheal Schumacher and his family. Going from living life at the rev limit to not having full faculties of yourself is beyond what I could imagine as the worst kind of frustration.

I was at the Hairpin in Montreal when he picked up Alesi in 1995. It was my first live Grand Prix. He was my favourite since then as I was young and the sport was new to me, but I remember him having mechanical issues and when he returned he pushed the ca...
