Okay, maybe the swine flu worries are calming down just a bit.
But what about these potential new sports flus?
Sharks flu – Fever builds over the winter, but it fizzles out by May.
–
Yankees flu – hits at ballparks, seems to empty out the seats around home plate.
–
Kobe Bryant flu – very strong, but no one ever seems to pass it on.
–
San Francisco Giants flu – Could potentially be dangerous but hasn’t really hit anyone yet.
–
Mine the Bird flu – You’ve never heard of it before, but you can’t catch it.
–
Brett Favre flu – Particularly persistent strain, started in Wisconsin, spread to New York, and just when you think it’s finally gone, it pops up again in Minnesota.
–
Alex Rodriguez flu – Not as drug resistant as first thought, and it tips you off when it’s coming.
