You should never associate with the type of person that tells you that you care too much about sports. It doesn't even matter whether or not it's true, because friends let friends feel bad about their fandom - no matter how obnoxious it is. That being said, if you do end up on the ass end of some shaming from the "it's just a game" crowd then make sure you have this GIF bookmarked on your phone. At the very least, watching an old man - that managed to fit 15 fashion faux pas into a three piece outfit - dance around like it's Mardi Gras during a game that his team wasn't even playing in will make you feel comparatively less crazy.

Up until this point, the Blue Devils being down 7 with plenty of time left to go was the highest high of this geezer's day, and his day included watching his own team squeak out an undeserved win that sent them to the Sweet Sixteen. I thought I hated Duke, but apparently you can't truly hate Duke unless you risk the long-term health of your knees by jumping around and putting your hands in the air like you just don't care that a camera is undoubtedly going to catch you with enough cloth tucked into your pants to render underwear unnecessary. Eight and a half minutes is an eternity in college basketball, and this dude was already going full inflatable air dancer. I hope he took the day off today, because he's going to need at least 24 hours to let his heart rate get back to normal after the amount of celebrating he did last night. I didn't think it would be reached by someone rocking the jersey of a player he's old enough to have grandfathered, but the uncontainable joy that man derived at the expense of a rival's misfortune is peak sports hatred.
