Man am I ever tired of all the hoopla and media attention given the Super Bowl. I know that I am excited to see the Gints there but the excess of publicity has really gotten to me. Two weeks is absolutely too much time between the divisional Championships and the SB.
I was listening to FAN yesterday hoping to hear a little about baseball. Nothing! But Suzyn Waldman was in Tampa in a convention hall with 3000 other media representatives and even she was tired of all the media attention. She related a story where a femal media rep asked one player "if you weren't a male (were a female) what would have been your career choice?". Suzyn rightly said that was one of the dumbest Q's she has ever heard. She had another femal media type from the Boston area who reported that she was a babysitter for one of the Ravens players and even changed his diapers. Come on now do we really need to hear that??
For the last week and a half I have tried to avoid reading watching or listening to any Super Boal reports. I am tired of them. Of course I will watch the game but I will not read Monday (or any day thereafter) any post game analysis. Fortunately for me I am spending Monday and Tuesday spending time in the Everglades and Florida Bay fishing for Bass, Tarpoon and Snook. Wish me luck.
PLAY THE DAMNED GAME ALLREADY!!
What would have happened if there were two weeks delay between baseballs division championships and the WS, esp in this years Subway Series?? We probably would have heard that Brosius was once caught throwing a snowball at a car when he was twelve, that O'Neill cut off the pigtail of a girl sitting in front of him in the third grade, that Derek covered trees on his neighbors property one mischeive might, that Justice was suspended for a day in the sixth grade for mouthing back to his teacher, that El Duque once was arrested in Cuba for throwing darts at a photo of Castro, That Chuck Thomas Knoblach was named for Thomas Jefferson and that his father wanted him to be President, ond on and on and on...
COME ON PLAY THE DAMNED GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
