Sports Games

So I'm one of those relatively rare birds who loves both sports and gaming. Note: loves. It's not just that I don't mind watching a game if someone else wants to watch one; I'm passionate about them. I was up till 3 AM last year around this time when my Celtics won the NBA Finals before I could finally fall asleep.
Am I a rare enough bird so that there'll never be an RPG with a heavy sports component? I guess pro wrestling is the one exception, but pro wrestling isn't a sport per se. There happens to be enough serious pro wrestling fans among the ranks of RPG creators that every now and again, someone pumps one out... I actually wrote part of the wrestling sourcebook for Eden's All Flesh Must Be Eaten. But that's apparently the exception.
And what would a sports RPG look like, anyhow?
