When I was 10 I got a baseball glove for my birthday and proceeded to demonstrate my version of a 'change-up'--a ridiculously slow wind-up followed by a sudden, last-second quick release! When friends came over my mom would call me over and say, 'Show them your "change-up"!'

I grew up in South Florida, where the sport Jai Alai is played a lot. When I was in kindergarten, they passed out subscription cards for Highlights for Kids magazine, and I was totally scandalized that they would sign kids up for such a dangerous sport. I told everyone who would listen that Highlights was too dangerous for children.

One day while watching a Denver Broncos football game with my step mom (who is a huge Broncos fan) she finally erupted at the announcers who she thought was calling their punter by his last name -Aknor. She yelled at the TV, "it's not "A" knor it's just Knor. I explained to her that his first name is Micah (Mike a). Hence Micah Knor.

After watching Tiswas or Multi-Coloured Swap Shop of a Saturday morning - sandwiched into the sofa, waiting for mother to drag us all out shopping - there was the boring television that followed.

A particularly disturbing episode of "It's the Wolf" was usually followed by an unending weather forecast, with sloppily-sticking magnetic pads.

Then it was time for Grandstand - the then grand but now somewhat delapitaded afternoon sports fest.

Raised in Epsom, at the foot of the hill that led up to the racecourse of Derby fame, I knew that the big tiered building at the end of the course straight after Tattenham Corner was called "The Grandstand".

Well, I put two and two together and naturally assumed that that was where the show was broadcast from.

When I was at school, my teacher told me that Rugby Union was more demanding than Rugby League. How embarrassing to play my first Rugby League game and find out - the painful way - that I wasn't as strong, as skilful or as talented as I thought I was, Ouch!

when i was really young, my dad took me to a New York Knicks game. They were doing really bad, and everyone was silent. then the screen that said "make some noise" came up. I was cheering my head off, thinking that I was making the bar raise my myself (i looked liked an idiot around everyone else). It took me about3 years to realize that the screen went the meter went up on its own

When I was a kid, I used to believe that 'bicycle goal' was when a player did goal with the bicycle.

I used to think that Michael Jordan and Montell Jordan were brothers. I used to think that Montell also played basketball just like his “brother.”
