SPORTS

Todays rant will be about sports. Even tho I am an old jock, who still likes to play, the amount of sports and sport shows on TV and radio has long ago passed the saturation point. Do we really need 3hrs of pre game hype, 3hrs of game, followed by 3hrs of post game commentary for each Bear game? It used to be the local team that was televised on game day. Then it went to monday nights. Now we have three games on sundays. That wasn't enough, lets have them during the week. Bowl games ended on New Years day, and only a hand full of those games. Now even a mathematician would have trouble counting the total number of bowl games and only god knows when the last one will be played.
On Thansgiving day it was the Detroit team that played starting in the morning, ending way before the turkey went on the table and everyone sat around eating and talking. Now we start early and end late. I watched as grown men sat around and waited for half time, before getting up to get some food, and heaven forbid, you say something while there is a play on.
If there was a uproar of citizens regarding how our politicians are running our city, state and federal goverment, as there was about the time change of the Bears game on New Years Eve, maybe they would sit up and notice, instead of buisness as usuall.
And finally to those moron's who pay outrages ticket and refreshment prices. I think you could better spend your money, then on fools who belong on wanted posters rather then an athletic ones. How stupid of me, they allready are.

I have a good idea...why don't people take the money they would spend at a professional sports venue, a place where they don't know anyone & the players don't care about them...and then give it to a local team (boys or girls club, area HS, neighborhood teams, etc.) They could then cheer for a team that really represents them & they would be as invested as say,the Tribune...

Shows Jane has either been thinking, or I am starting to rub off on her.
