Howe's That Sports parents of 4-6 yearold kids lose their ever loving minds. When their kid reaches about 10, they've figured it out. Middle school and junior varsity sees the best mannered parents. By then they've become well trained on reality and expectations. But when the sports parent moves to varsity, they revert back to the 4-6 year-old parent who loses their ever loving mind.

Secondguessers are the only ones in the history of the world that are undfeated and unscored on. Think this presidential election is packed with ugly one-liners?
