The summer sports Drought is almost over and it can't get here fast enough. I am about to go insane! It actually hurts to turn on the NFL network because all of the games are old, and you already know what's going to happen. And even if you see a really good play that you might have missed, the truth smacks you in the face like a garbage can when you realize that the incredible catch that you just saw, means nothing because YOU ALREADY KNOW WHO WON THE GAME!!!! And although it is now preseason. Who really cares about pre season? It is a tease indeed and a majority of the players you see, will never come off the bench during the season.
Additionally, watching Sports Center is like watching Desperate Housewives, or The Atlanta Housewives or any other show that includes "Housewives" in the title. Full of bullsh*t and uneccessary drama. For Example...The following are real topics on Pardon The Interruption Today:
1.) Baseball player used Steroids. Baseball Player got caught. Baseball Player Apologizes. "Was the apology genuine?"
2.) Another Baseball Player is a Drunk...And a Drug Addict. Baseball Player sobers up. Baseball Player gets drunk again. Some asshole posts pictures online. Baseball player apologizes. "Was the apology necessary?"
3.) Golfer wins tournament. "If he doesn't win the next big tournament, is this Season a waste".
4.) Hockey Player gets Arrested...for robbing a taxi driver...for 20 dollars. "Will this ruin his career"?
This insanity has got to stop! However...I will say that the 2009 sports drought has helped me to appreciate the UFC and now I am a fan for life. And the main reason is Anderson Silva. See below...
Anderson Silva makes watching a man beating another man bloody until he is temporarily brain damaged feel like you are looking at an art exhibit. In fact, the blood spatters actually look like Early Picasso paintings.
I also have to say that Sports TV isn't ALL bad. Here is a good story from Outside The Lines on ESPN. Great story...almost made a Brotha tear up!
OTL - Carry On

I find the best way to combat this sort of sports depression is pop open a Schlitz, kick back on the couch, and rock out to the dulcet tones of U2's All That You Can't Leave Behind. By the time the first song is over, you will truly realize that it's a "Beautiful Day". And when Bono starts showcasing that amazing voice on track 3, "Elevation", you'll be in heaven.
Mr. Bono...It is obvious that you are F'ing with me but you have now become my digital nemisis.
