Daily rants and opinions...because we're THAT bored.

In case you haven't realized it yet, that little intro was a rip on ABC's coverage of the NBA.
With the NBA starting, I'd like to be in a positive mood, because basketball season is just about to get under way. Ahhhhh, basketball season. The happiest time of the year for me. Too bad I won't get to watch an NBA game for a month or so.
Back when the NBA was on NBC, I used to live for the weekends. Doubleheader on Saturday. Tripleheader on Sunday. Not to mention the greatest theme song ever (created by John Tesh. Who knew such wonderful music could come from John Tesh?), and Bob Costas. Well, maybe the NBA was better back then because guys like Michael Jordan Karl Malone, John Stockton, and Hakeem Olajuwon were still playing. However I disagree. There's not really anything wrong with the NBA. Certainly it's not perfect, but it's watchable. Or it would be if ABC started caring maybe just a little bit. Freddie Prince Junior gets his own TV show, but no NBA coverage! Let me repeat that sentence.
FREDDIE PRINCE JUNIOR GETS HIS OWN TV SHOW, BUT NO NBA COVERAGE!
What has happened? I know the NBA's moved to cable and they make a lot of money. (Which is what the game should be about, shouldn't it? I be tthat's what Dr. James Naismith envisioned when he became the creator and pioneer of basketball. Money, dunks, endorsements, and glamour. Oh boy, hasn't the NBA just gotten better and better!) Some people, including me, don't get cable TV. So what am I left with? Watching another stupid reality TV show? No thanks, reality TV sucks.
This may be a little off subject, but what the hell, I'll do whatever I want. I'm going to go into a little rant on how much I hate TV. Not only do the shows suck, but there's over one million channels of crappy TV to choose from! Watch a reality TV show about a bunch of rich people on some stupid beach, a sub-par famous couple got married (OMG! OMG! WTF! WTF! I can't wait to watch a show about two idiots' everyday lives!), a bunch of people competing to be the next great insert whatever here (Who's going to be the next great homeless person? Person to date one of two women, one has an STD, the other doesn't! Which one will he have sex with? The next person to win and then compete against over people to win and then have to win again three more times, just to get considered to be on a reality TV show, and get their ugly face on TV! The suspense is riveting!), a bunch of people are put in a house (It's either Pauly Shore's or Robin Williams'. They'll live in it for 8 weeks. They'll build relationships. Have sex. Create controversy to get higher ratings. And at the end they'll guess who's house it really is. The winner gets $100,000 for being good looking and completely worthless! And the best part is, two of the people that are in the house are Pauly Shore and Robin Williams dressed in disguise!), and I'm not going to get into everything else or I will get arrested for having too many parenthesis in this paragraph!
If it weren't for sports, The Simpsons, Gilmore Girls, Family Guy, and American Dad, I would never watch TV.
So to some it up, ABC should show more NBA games...and TV sucks.
