Too much Smallville

We have one of those blockbuster movie passes were you pay a flat rate each month and get as many movies as you want (like Netflicks, but in store). My husband has decided to watch every season of Smallville available, which is totally cool, hell I’ve even enjoyed a couple. But after last night, I think he might be developing a Superman complex.

We were at a local high school basketball game watching a couple of his cousins’ play. When halfway through the 4th quarter, a wrestling match over the ball broke out, which quickly turned to players pushing each other and coaches, athletic directors, referees and teachers took care of the situation. We were sitting by the home teams locker room door and one of their players who was directly involved in the incident was escorted to the locker room and some of his team mates followed. Okay, so here’s where we’re at the visiting team is on their side of the court away from the home team, the couple of home team players are really upset and have been hulled off to the locker room, and school administrators are handling the handful of students who are getting pumped up over the situation. When all of a sudden I look over and see that my husband has jumped out of the stands and is standing by the path leading to the home team’s locker room doing his version of crowd calming, which resembles the “Angles in the Outfield” signal, without so much flap. I sitting in the stand (almost seven month pregnant mind you) with my three year old son and a bunch of my husbands family trying to figure out what the hell he was doing. Finally, I get his attention and get his ass back in the stands. After waiting about half an hour for them to figure out the situation, we decided to leave as it was getting late and we needed to get our son ready for bed. When we got to the car, I asked him what he thought he was doing. For what I understand, he was trying to be prepared incase people started swinging to pull them apart. Okay, where do I begin with the issues I have with this?
1. By the time he dragged his ass out there the excitement was over, so what the hell.
2. Yea, there are people paid to do that kind of crap already at the game, and I don’t think they need your help.
3. And if you were to wrestle some 15 year old to the ground what kind of liability are you put yourself in.
4. Do you really want your three year old son to see you in a wrestling match with a bunch of high schoolers.

Needless to say I was a little annoyed and I think it might do him some good to lay off the Smallville.
