No end in sight for NFL, cable TV stalemate - 04/04/2008 - MiamiHerald.com
The Dennis Miller experiment was a bad idea. But it still wasn't as bad as the awful, unfunny and waste-of-hot-air musings of Kornheiser. I'll say this until I'm blue in the face. If I wanted to hear a guy who knows nothing about football try to be funny while a football game is going on, I'm sure I can find someone at a local bar or bowling alley. Why can't we just have X's and O's guys on? Isn't that what we all want?
Once again, ESPN, in attempt to boost its ratings (to get even non-football fans to watch their telecast) unfurls a parade of TV stars and former athletes and the game is just background. The fact is, it doesn't work. If people don't wanna watch football, they're not gonna watch. Period. Please tell me why I'm wrong.
And no I'm not THAT upset about this. I'm just trying to help myself get through these next few weeks of boredom.
