Yes you are! That is, if you've ever have done one of the following...

1. Wearing a team jersey inscribed with your name
2. Owning wild-card paraphernalia
3. Shooting an air ball in a promotional contest
4. Wearing a Bluetooth earpiece during a game
5. Going crazy over giveaway T-shirts and burritos when you're occupying $500 seats
6. Wearing a sponsor-festooned jersey while riding your bike
7. Proposing via JumboTron
8. Being too cool for the Kiss Cam
9. Putting team flags on your car
10. Wearing baseball pants to play slo-pitch softball
11. Running in a rainstorm
12. Getting a team or player-themed tattoo
13. Waving to the television cameras
14. Having an intense fantasy sports discussion while attending an actual game
15. Leaving stickers and tags on your caps
16. Beating a kid for an autograph or baseball
17. Wearing dated rival-mocking T-shirts
18. Proclaiming special mastery of stadium scoreboard games
19. Wearing prep throwback jerseys of current pro players
20. Holding a sign with network call letters in the hopes of scoring five whole seconds of sweet, precious airtime

  Re: ESPN asks... Are you a doofus?  
I'm clean. In fact, when the kiss cam hit my wife and I, I put in on her big time. My son needs a ten year old doofus waiver. He got himself on TV at the LLWS with a sign. I was collateral damage. His sign got me on TV before the cameraman panned in. I didn't wave. I ignored the camera. I was also on TV when Dugout gave me a lap dance. All I said was, "There better be a woman under there." I knew Dugout was a woman. But it was good for a laugh.

By watching the Kiss Cam?

I'd say this couple are from the San Fernando Valley?

Can you count how many Kiss Cam dreams you've had on one hand kal_?

I cant.

  Re: ESPN asks... Are you a doofus?  
I guess by their standards and others I am not a doofus but as long as they come and enjoy the games good for them.

BTW I guess by these standards 90% of the fans at Japanese games are doofuses but I found them to be the greatest, most intense fans in the world. Completely off the charts per anything we know. Yankee fans...Bosox fans...Cubbies...not in the same ballpark.

  Re: ESPN asks... Are you a doofus?  
Not guilty! Kiss Cam? Where's Giada?

31. Having your face painted in your teams colors if you're over the age of 12. (MAJOR DOOFUS)

32. Wearing any costume at a game, (exceptions: the Washington Redskins "Hogs" - they were original!, Halloween night, and Santa Claus during the weekend of Christmas)

33. Standing in an aisle directly in front of the view of other patrons while talking on a cell phone and not even paying attention to the game (hello! Cub fans!).

34. Thinking you have the right to yell obscenities at an opposing player or throwing anything onto the field (or court).

35. Any professional team with cheerleaders ("team" doofus category).

36. Any professional league with fans that have choreographed chants (eg, "Whooooo-oooooh-ohhh-aahhhh (Braves) or "Who's your Daddy" (Yanks)). Exception: professional soccer leagues

37. Reaching in to the field of play to try and catch a foul ball when your home team is on defense and they are just about to catch the ball! (No comment regarding a certain NLCS game a few years back.)

38. Sitting directly behind homeplate and talking on a cell phone to a friend telling them "I'm on TV" while waving. (MAJOR DOOFUS category)

Wow, I'm not a doofus. My 17-year-old son, however, would beg to differ.

  Re: ESPN asks... Are you a doofus?  
ESPN has to segment "doofus" by culture. These would be "American" doofuses. Japan would have an entirely different list. Such as:

1. Sitting quietly while watching a ball game
2. Eating a hot dog instead of sushi

???

"what the heck is chalk posting!" lol!

Christmas gifts? "I gotta get me one"

thats what Ozzie said on the MADTV.

I got alot of umpire friends on my list this seasons :)

Do you go to toys-r-us? or adults-r-us to buy them?

Probably both places carry them?

Just different packaging?
