Some comments ...........

Only watched part of a few football games  so far, already two carted off the field on stretchers. One high school game, MOM is right there with her son, going to the hospital with him.... M. IOMS are great things.

A whole lot of High School football on TV, that may be the next big push .... college and pro is saturated, so lets do high school ... biggest emphasis is where they are committed to go to college. I wonder just how many are employed in "sports" ..... humongous number. We used to have the likes of Bill Stern, Red Barber, now there are thousands of faces .... no names, just suits, ties and faces, talking,  talking, talking incessantly talking .... Watching the "GEICO ESPN High School Kickoff Program"  the two guys I have never seen or heard have talked ... non stop .... for seven minutes .... and, they ain't done yet.

The NFL, Congress and others are concerned about football injuries, on the one hand, and on the other, more, much, much more coverage of the game ...... MORE injuries ..... MORE games ..... bottom line, TV will stop at nothing to fill airtime, which relates to MONEY coming in ...

Let's face it, be honest, TV rules our lives ..................

Oh, they are signing off their halftime program, talking about all the injuries, so far ..... ODD...
