Have you ever tried to have a sports conversation with a "box score/highlight watcher" or the guy that just tracks fantasy stats,.
I agree with those sentiments, but it's impossible to watch all games all the time, so highlights and stats are better than nothing.
Even with the NBA package, for example, I can only make time for so many games, and on the nights when there are a lot of games on at the same time, I like tochannel surf and catch a little of each. That along with looking at box scores and highlights is what the so-called "experts" do too. It's mytheory that as fans, you can really only be "experts" on your own team since that's the team you're going to follow and watch religiously.
I also want to make the point that one thing I like about fantasy sports is it gets you interested in teams you otherwise would not be interested in. Itsparked my interest in watching certain players on teams not my own, which in turn led me to like watching those teams and follow them a little bit more.
