Quick, someone call a Spin Doctor!

Not even through half the news cycle day and two high ranking officers in two of the most profitable sports leagues have called their fans idiots. Wonder if they've fired their press agents yet?

Baseball fans' love of their sport reduces concerns about the impact of the Mitchell Report on drug use or the fate of Barry Bonds, Major League Baseball (MLB) Commissioner Bud Selig said on Wednesday.

"We've had this steroid cloud, as it's been referred to, for the last four years and every year we break all-time attendance records and we'll do it again next year,"

It's not known if he was drinking a glass of water while his *sshole gave the press conference, due to the omission from the article. (full tale re: Bud 'Gotts' Be Goin' Now' Selig's bung-hole speaking)

And not more than half a day later - the CEO of NFL network calls football fans 'losers'. (link) Of course, if you actually read the article - you realize that it's a play on words to get people like myself to write him up as an *sshole. However, he is right. If you don't have the NFL Network with your rabbit ears, Comcast or what have you -you will not see one of those 'most important games of our lives' on Thursday Night Football tonight. (Yeah, guys, I'm pretty sure that game was last month? Pats-Colts? Anyone? Anyone remember that? Even Killre wrote about that...?)

In a match-up that no one would have ever dreamed having such weight and suspense - Green Bay and Cowboys - went to the usually piss poor game Thursday night for the new NFL Network. No one batted an eye before Favre slurped on some baby embryonic stem cells and turned into a 28 year old. And then there's the love affair with 10-1 Tony Romo... it's possible that this game will look like the final round of the play-offs is what this game is shaping up to be. And hardly anyone is going to see it.

The issue is that a) if anyone had known better, no one in their right mind would have let this game on a channel that hardly anyone gets b) the fight over carrying the NFL Network plays out like a Cook County board meeting... boring, but a lot of name calling. I think they're both wrong - but the cable channels don't have as much a stake say, as opposed to carrying a NHL game, that they're producing and have the rights to air... see the hypocrisy there?
c) re-read a. They probably assumed their package was as limp as ESPN's Monday Night Football... Which reminds me- did you catch MNF? Steelers and Dolphins. I really thought I was watching a college game for quite some time. Amazingly bad.

As for me? I've gots me the DirecTV HD DVR SuperMassive Hole in yer Wallet package hook up - so I've got it covered.
