A lot of people that follow sports closely do it for the same reason that others do cross word puzzles and some are political pundits. Humans enjoy intellectual stimulation beyond their work.
If you think that watching SportsCenter everyday and debating sports with your friends is any different than us reading hacker news and enjoying debating about it, then you are just suffering a delusion of superiority. It has nothing to do taking credit for this or that, the debate is what interest people and the statistics are just the weapons.
