#1 Keep it up. All your players have suck attitudes anyway and your league has sold out to idiot commies.
The games in Rome are not what they were.

#3 I have found I don't miss it. Much as I discovered about baseball after they struck the World Series some years ago.

#4 Almost time for Bakit Ball!

Watch not watch, for an amazing um.... When's the last time Dave Cowen played?

I continue to watch the signals. No indications yet John.

#7 It would be awfully hard for women's beach volleyball to go so far left that I couldn't find something about it to watch.

#8 Note to advertisers - you ain't getting your money's worth. I'd renegotiate a cut by, say, a third of what you are currently being hit for.

#9 So fans are wielding a boycott cluebat. Will the rich owners notice? Or just laugh and take bigger tax write-offs?

#10 What are the owners going to do, PBMcL? Ask the players not to express themselves? You know what charges that would bring!

#12 Sports is a business. They need to start listening to their customers, and not the SJW morons.

#13 Their problem is when people get used to not watching the games.

One day, we went and planted trees. Another, played with the kids.

Chores get done in 1/4 of the time, instead of rubbernecking the tube. Its great.

To be honest, and as I have said, I grew up bleeding Chiefs red, and peeing Chiefs gold. The industry has been rubbing me raw with the personality-forward marketing approach, or as I call it the soccerization of sports in general and very much so with football. Fantasy this, he said what that, what outlandish personality commentator can we get - then those personalities told me I was responsible for a murder-suicide by a belligerent drunked up drug head whose baby's momma called him out for spending the night with a mistress.

This, this just does it. No more Latin month, no more pink month, no more wasted time. And the feeling has crept into my view of college ball.

#14 Super Bowl will be the test. Since they know the numbers year after year if there is a 1/3 drop off it'll be huge.
