MTV.. no wait, it's NBC Football.

With NBC hyping up the start of their kick-down show, I figure I'll tune into the football game a little early, knowing that kickoff isn't until 8:30pm. But when I tuned into the pre-game show, I expected Madden and the boys to be discussing pre-game analysis, picks of whom they think will win the game, and perhaps some news from about the league.

But instead I'm greeted with a bucket full of music. If MTV still played music, I would have believed I tuned my television mistakenly to MTV or VH1. But no, instead of the NFL providing pre-game analysis, they believe that they're going to some how receive higher ratings by treating fans to musical acts. (What the fuck is this, the Super Bowl Halftime show? No. Great. Get them off the fucking field before they tear it up).

Televised sporting events need to learn, NASCAR and football included, that fans tune in for the race or for football, not to watch a concert before the game. When we bother to tune in a little early, it's because we're expecting a mini-sports news show full of information about the game we're about to watch. Who is starting, who at the last minute isn't starting. Who do the experts believe will win.

We don't want to see P. Diddly (or whatever he's calling himself these days), Danity Kane, Cassie or Rascal Flatts. We want to hear about football and see football. Send these musical acts back to MTV and CMT and get them off the damn field.

I hated that shit, too. They need to kill fucking celebrity halftime shows and go away. And I think he's going by Puff the Magic Dragon today...

That's what the NFL has done for the first game of the season for the past four years or so.

where have you been?

If she's anything like me, she's been drunk by the time the game starts.

Just because it's what they've done, doesn't mean it's a good thing Anselm. And doesn't mean that I don't stupidly hope each year that they'll change their evil ways.

There is a new commish now, so there's hope Mr. Boring will make football about football again.

Few thigns on this front...

1. I liked it better when NFL pregame shows leading up to season openers were
...ya know, about football and not music. Like in the 80s and early 90s.

2. Hearing Pink sing the NBC theme for
SNF is going to take some getting used to, but it's a lot better than that bland crap Fox has.

That is all.
