So apparently the NFL didn't want to compete with the World Series, because here it is, Sunday night at 8:00, my TV is tuned to NBC, but rather than watching a football game I'm watching fucking National Treasure. Since when does the NFL not play a game because they're worried about baseball? Who gives a fuck about baseball? Nobody, that's who. Baseball was America's sport fifty years ago. Today, that's football, and I find it extremely insulting that I can't watch a God damn football game right now because the twirling butt-pirates want to have a baseball game.
Really? Who gives a fuck about baseball? I don't give a shit if it's the World Series. It's boring. They allow the players to cheat with steroids and pretend it isn't a big deal. There's no salary cap so the richest owners just buy the best players they can get their hands on, which is why it's always the same teams at the top every single year. The "athletes" are overweight, middle-aged hacks. It's a pussy's sport by nature because there's no physical contact whatsoever, so they try to make up for their lack of balls by throwing pitches at the other teams' best players to assert their manhood. They encourage childish temper tantrums from their players and coaches that wouldn't be tolerated in any other sport. Individual games are utterly meaningless because they play so damn many of them. I mean really, how are you supposed to take a sport seriously when players aren't even mildly upset to lose a game because they can lose fifty in a season and still make the playoffs? Even the World Series is a drag-out best of seven marathon that accomplishes nothing more than devalue each game and make the whole process anti-climactic.
So here I sit, not watching a football game, watching fucking National Treasure. Oh well. At least it isn't a poor man's nerdy, half-assed Indiana Jones. Oh wait...
