The worldwide leader

Another rant for your archives:

If you don't get those "pay-per-view" channels and you still want to see some adult action, you can see ESPN blow the Patriots every hour of every day.

It's damn ridiculous. Last year when the Colts were in the same situation the coverage was bad but not unbearable. Sure the feat they might accomplish is newsworthy; however, there is a difference between news and propoganda.

Want more proof? Jessica Simpson on Sportscenter?!! WTF! Since when did who a player dates be of any sports significance? Honestly, when I saw the story I thought I was watching Entertainment Tonight.

Give me a break ESPN. As you cover sports, it's sad that you have no competition of your own.

ESPN is in desperate need of some industry competition. I haven't seen a mismatch this bad since the 2007 battle between the United States government's executive and legislative branches.

I received a personal request this week also to re-link to last year's list of the "5 greatest Christmas music recordings of all-time", and the subsequent correction published by my brother.

I want no one to be able to say that I contributed to the War on Christmas.

You've got to be kidding me with this talk of more Congressional hearings on steroids in baseball. Have these clowns ever heard the names Bill Romanowski or Rodney Harrison? Guess not. Let's finally admit then-- at least-- that not all sports are created equal.

If a majority of Americans truly believe that a steroids pandemic has permanently inflicted and crippled the game, how can any solution to the problem not include the resignation of Bud Selig, the league's commissioner for the last 16 years?

The Patriots have a big, fat asterisk. That Baltimore Ravens Monday night game three weeks ago was robbery. That game was OVER and they called some ticky-tack penalty that they could conceivably call on every down ever played in the NFL.

There's no end to professional sports/ESPN's drive to milk every penny out of the 24-hour cycle of sports news/hype.

With the asterisk chatter, I thought you were referring to the videotape scandal against the Jets earlier in the year.

Or Rodney Harrison getting caught using steroids. Oops, wrong sport. He's cool.

Repeat: THE RAVENS WON THAT GAME!

Streak over.
