Don't Be Stupid!

It's been awhile since I've been on a rant about sportcasters; usually I save it for college basketball season (give me Woody over Vitale any day of the week, don't even get me STARTED on Billy Packer, and if I have to hear Clark Kellogg say "you can't coach tall" again I'll just cry). But every now and then you have to just look at the television and scream, "HEY! DON'T BE STUPID!"

I'm watching Indianapolis beat up on Jacksonville; supposedly The Who was the halftime show. I say supposedly because The sportscasters never actually SHOWED us The Who, they just told us they were the halftime show. Unfortunately, the music that we could hear in the background was......Tom Petty. Yep, Tom Petty, "Running Down a Dream".

Now I like Mr. Petty as much as the next guy, maybe even better, and I'm no Who fanatic, despite the fact that they've appeared in my Blog twice in the past month or so. But if you're going to make the halftime show part of your schtick, it might be a good idea to make sure that they're actually playing at that point.

Hmph. The world would be SUCH a better place if they'd just put me in charge.

But, on a brighter note, Jacksonville is now in scoring position. Doubt they'll come back to win, but perhaps they'll score.....
