Alright! Got all that heavy stuff off my chest. How about those Cowboys? Oh, wait a minute, it’s not football season, IT’S MARCH MADNESS! How about those Wildcats? No… that’s too easy; how about those Spartans? Now we’re talking! But really, rooting for college sports is easy for me, I have no affiliations; I did not attend college. So this dummy can pick and choose whomever he wants to cheer.
So here’s the breakdown; I watch Professional football, though less each year since the Cowboys were purchased by that buffoon Jones (money doth not a wise man make), college basketball, but only the end of the season, and the occasional boxing match, golf tournament, or other, potentially interesting sporting event, depending on how lazy I’m feeling and how famous one of the participants may be. They all take way too much of my time to really keep me entertained, so I try to record them (praise the almighty DVR) so I can cut out all the commercials and much of the excess (read replay here) of the games and view the meat (we Have the Meats, OK, I do watch the occasional commercial). What I don’t get is why anyone would watch any more than this. Is professional (and I use the term loosely) basketball really a sport? I think you’d as easily call professional wrestling a real sport instead of simple-minded entertainment. Can anyone possibly sit through an entire professional baseball game, live or on TV? That would have to be an exercise in brain-dead patience or maybe drug-induced coma for me. Even pro golf is more exciting than pro baseball, especially when Tiger is playing well (has that happened lately). All the rest of televised sportsdom is viewed by whimsy: I just don’t have the time to waste, I’m not getting any younger.
So there you have it; another piece of me. Questions? I thought not.
