The super bowl I'm sure you can air whenever but it's the highest rated thing on tv by like a billion percent every year anyway so I think they're doing okay? The NCAA title game would do way worse on a Saturday than it does on Monday it's not even close to the same level of event

The thing that shits me is next season will start with 6 weeks of bad games because the people picking games are incompetent until its clear Redskins/Cowboys is not a marquee match up.

Or, the sad truth is people are more likely to watch Giants/Redskins game even if both teams are terrible instead of a Rams/Chiefs game (I struggled to think of a good but not popular team best I could do wa the chiefs.)

I remember one year, the Redskins and Cowboys were both absolutely dreadful squads and they aired a segment ahead of time where Richard Simmons was encouraging them both to play better. I think the game ended up something like 15-12, no TD's whatsoever.

It was a MNF game, I believe.

So apparently the yankees radio announcer John Sterling was teasing some big call for Stanton's first homer with the team.

annnnnd apparently Sterling thinks Giancarlo Stanton is Italian?

Not only is this (from a bit back) dumb as hell but Stanton hit another one today and Sterling is sticking with it. What a corny motherfucker

It went down each day this week. Thought I saw they're paying like $15 million for the hosts.

Still not sure how they thought this would work. Didn't they try to do the morning sports show years back with Cold Pizza? And that was back when people actually watched cable TV.

They have some new show called Shotmakers that I'm aware of....for some reason? Like a gameshow of golf trick shots.

It looks awful to me but I am not a golf fan so maybe it's good.

Presumably, the same junk that's on the NFL channel all week and all winter+spring+summer....I can understand things like the Big-10 and SEC networks; they have a ton of new content all year. But building a network around 1 mediocre game/week? And only during the regular season??

Somewhat seriously, The Golf Channel is kinda the Readers Digest of television. Inoffensive filler that companies can put on in waiting rooms.

Is airing NHL games on the Golf Channel really any weirder than airing them on a business news channel like they have been for several years now?

IMO the Food Network is the leader in this, almost every doctor office and business I've walked into with a TV (that wasn't a sports bar) is airing it these days.

It doesn't really take a stretch or "super PC climate" to see that it's a problem but I doubt he was thinking of that when he said it. Sounds like a regional folksy thing that he never thought about.
