Question of the Day: Whats the score?

While walking through town with my fiancee the other day, we passed a pub which I popped into just to check the score of a cricket match. Why? I really wasn't that interested in the game, and knowing the score would in no-way influence anything I was doing; so why did I do it?

Is checking the score the male equivalent of window shopping? Or is it not really about checking the score, but actually watching perhaps 5 seconds of sport? Further still, perhaps it is used for some sub-conscious, competitive advantage where knowing the score perhaps makes one look better than others?

Then again, maybe I was just seeing how the game was progressing.
