"How about some sports?" you ask. "With all of my traveling, I don't really get to sit and watch any games or matches."

"So, like, soccer?" Beast Boy says. "Cricket? Rugby?"

"I appreciate that you know those have British fanbases, but no it wouldn't be any of those," you say. "I'm thinking more basketball, that's going on right now, isn't it?"

Robin scans the guide and finds a game playing right now. He goes to it just as the ball swishes through the hoops.

"And another shot from way down town!" the commentator says as the crowd goes wild. "The score is now 72 to 56, extending the lead to 16."

"Not only that," the other commentator says, "but that means the Atlanta Tigers have been going on a 24 point run to just smoke the Austin Stallions' defense this half."

"Well," a third commentator says, "the Stallions haven't been the best team on the road this year. At this point in the season, they are 5 and 13, and those road wins mostly come from interstate divisional rivals so it's not lik they actually traveled all that far."

The Stallions get possession of the ball now, and they in their blue jerseys with purple and white trim advance across the court. The Tigers in their white jerseys with orange and black trim prepare a zone defense.

A quick pass to the Forward and he makes a move, the Tigers player gets in and takes the bump as the Stallions player goes up. The Stallion misses his lay-up from the stiff contact, a referee blows a whistle, and calls a block foul!?

"What?" you say incredulously. "That was not a block, that was clean!"

"I dunno," Robin says, "I think he was still moving."

Instant replay gets a close, rear angle. Stallion player goes up as Tigers play moves in.

"See, right there," you say. "Feet are down, established block. If anything that should've gone the other way."

"No, but look, his feet are in the circle."

"What?" you say as you literally look closer by leaning towards the television. "Oh, well the very edge of his heel touches that line, how could the ref see that from where he was?"

"Either way, he still called it right," Robin shrugs and smirks.

"So wait, do you follow Basketball that closely?" Raven asks.

"Not particularly," you say. "I know enough of the rules to know that that ref got lucky. Would've been better if he'd just kept it as a no call because now he has the home crowd upset with him."

"Any particular teams you like?" she asks.

"Not particularly," you say. "Again, I don't stay in one place long enough to really get into a season."

The Stallions' Forward stands on the free throw line and takes his first of two shots. *swish* for the make, and he gets his second. *swish* again and now the Stallions are at 58.

"So who do you want to win this?" Raven asks.

A) Tigers
B) Stallions
C) Doesn't matter
