Tuesday’s Rant!
Many who follow my wonderful posts know how much I don’t enjoy the
quote, “Expert Analysts” who invade our TVs and sensory nerves for each and
every televised game. They claim and profess they are the masters of their
universe when in actuality they are nothing more than over paid blow-hards attempting
to convince us how knowledge and superior their brain pans are. Some days they
make weathermen and politicians come across as intelligent.
For those of us who watched the Dodgers/Cardinals game, and endured
Joe Buck, and his booth of stooges, we saw one of the greatest travesties to
hit professional(?) broadcasting. What say ye, could have happened during the
broadcast that would have me gnashing my teeth and chewing my pillow apart? I
will say this much, if the mistake would have been made with Alabama/Auburn,
Michigan/Michigan State, UCLA/USC, NewYork Yankees/New York Mets, or any other
state rivalry, the studios of FOX would have been burned to the ground, and
then the fans would have revolted.
So what was this horrid act
that has my yankles raised? Simple. Around the seventh inning, they showed the
NCAA College Football matchups for the upcoming weekend they (FOX) would be
broadcasting. One, I don’t give two shits about the college match-ups this
weekend. You boneheads, it’s only Tuesday. I’m
more than capable of buying a paper or checking the programming for
myself. Oh no, they have to make sure that YOU are going to watch their
wonderful programming. For that to happen they are going to have to pull their
heads out to the point, it causes a sonic boom across our fine country. I know,
got off point, but not by much.
As I haphazardly saw the
match-ups, something was serious amiss. No it wasn’t serious, it was outright
insulting to those of us who are either OSU or OU fans. Oklahoma State is
playing Kansas. Nothing ground shaking there. BUT, when in the hell did OSU
switch their symbol to OU? That’s right folks. The producers back at the mother
ship (MF) somehow in their infinite wisdom are both dyslexic and f#%^#*ing
color blind! How hard is it to tell the difference between Crimson/White ,
Orange/White/Black, and the letters OU/OSU. Oh, that’s right. We aren’t the
powers of the SEC, Big 10, Pac Ten or the pathetic IVY league. Let them make
that mistake with Yale/Harvard and the White House would be burned to the
ground. Not that that would be a bad thing, but the point here is, yes I do
have one is, HOW HARD IS IT TO GET THE LOGOS RIGHT??!?!?!?!?
See example at the bottom. Voting starts now. Can you tell the
difference?
Forgive me for being so harsh, but remember, we are dealing with
individuals who when given a math problem on the air, do their best not to
screw up 1 + 1.
