I’m pretty sure I know why I have very little to say lately. When football season ends it’s like the world goes silent for six or seven months. Let’s be honest the NBA is more or less a joke, college basketball gets a lot more exciting come March Madness, hockey (or in my case the Red Wings) is rarely on TV. anymore, baseball doesn’t even start until April and finally NASCAR…need I say more.
See here is the problem with just about every sport except football. It’s hard to appreciate sports that last practically all year long, have more than 50% of teams in their respective leagues make the playoffs, and then have no real significant offseason. I mean take NASCAR for example. They take maybe three months off then start the season back up. The NBA goes from late October to June. As much as I hate the football offseason, I have to admit it really makes you care so much more when it’s here.
So ABC/ESPN honestly you can stop trying to hype up things like a Suns vs. Mavericks games on a Sunday afternoon as a big attraction. Also NASCAR qualifying rounds is nothing to televise, it’s a waste of public airwaves. I will give it to golf, at least they know the first three rounds of any PGA Major is pretty much anticlimactic and just really get deep into the coverage on the final day. I’ll at least give them that. Oh and BTW putting on some random bowling match on a Saturday afternoon…you would probably get better ratings by just replaying some NFL game from the past season.
Other than that…I really got nothing.

You need to spend some time on the Food Network! That's about all there is to watch on the weekend this time of year. And it will get worse. It's bad enough now, but that period in the summer where major league baseball is the only thing going on is torture.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of baseball, why oh why did the fact that Alex Rodriguez used steroids have to come out? Geez. We finally got the sports media to stop talking about steroids, but now another story comes out and they are back on it. I can't even listen to ESPN radio right now because that's all they are talking about. I'm sick of it. Who cares!!!
