I can completely relate to this. For me, big events that happen in sports make me think "I wonder if anyone else is writing a piece on this yet?" or "Did I pick that Phillies in MLB pick'em today?".
Like you, I don't see it as a bad thing but more of something to take notice of and funny to others who can relate. Just wait until we are out of Beta and known to the masses! Fun times are ahead and I'm ready for a long, fun ride.
