Thanks for the reply. This statement of yours above is
something I ponder often. The Monday Night Football
example was a good one. 

Last night I was reading Rawn Clark's The Art of
Empowered Remembering and thought of an application.

Now suppose the person who loves to always talk about
Monday Night Football works with you or for some
reason you see this person often. I wonder wouldn't it
be more beneficial to take 5 minutes everyday and
learn a little about football, using that knowledge to
create a new positive relationship with that person?
Then take that feeling and apply it to the next person
who has the same type of traits. If one were to do
this with every type of person they know, I bet after
some time, they could transform all that judgement and
just "remember" those good experiences with people. 

I don't know it is just something that came to me. I
think it might be worth experimenting with. Thanks for
the inspiration David!

Sincerely,
Allen
