Cubs Sign 6 On Opening Of International Signing Period

"Caring Is Creepy"

I've made no secret of the fact that I am a proud graduate of the University of Iowa. Over at SB Nation's Hawkeyes blog, "Black Heart Gold Pants", they put all their recruiting coverage under the title "Caring Is Creepy." The thinking is that the amount of attention we as sports fans pay to the college choice of 17- and 18-year-old high school athletes is kind of icky. Yes, these kids are the future of our athletics department, but they're also still kids.

So if that's creepy, what do you call the amount of attention that we as baseball fans pay to the international signing period, which started today?
