Yes, Derek Jeter loves the Yankees and wants the Yankees to win and plays his heart out. But does he ream out the reporter who dares ask him a tough question? Never. He moves on, grabs some dinner and heads home after the game for the latest episode of Entourage and a good night's sleep.
Maybe you should, too.

Umm, this guy is making the point that people that rely on sports for a living have a release from their jobs at the end of the day.
What about the people who do ACTUAL work for a living? The people that don't have the cushy job of writing about sports. Their work lives aren't centered around sports in the least bit. Assumedly people that get done with their non-sports-related work at the end of the day have enough energy to passionately follow sports, yes? They're not surrounded by it at all, so their break from work IS sports.
This guy seems to be shooting himself in the foot with that last paragraph
