Yesterday’s March Madness really pissed me off but it did get me on to YouTube to look for some great video’s. Back in the day Hockey was big on Speed, Hits, and Fights. Growing up in the Northern part of the world, I grew up watching Hockey, I think everyone I knew was just there to see the fights that would happen. I have kept up with Hockey a little over the years and have noticed there are a lot less HUGE hits and a lot less fighting in Hockey. That was the draw of the game.
This is why I love Lacrosse, it has taken the lead in Hard Hitting Sports:
Okay, I used to play Basketball, I still do it every once in a while when I need to feel younger. Basketball = The sport for old people to feel young (until the next day)
I guess this thing call March Madness is going on right now, a time of the season where they wanted people to actually pay attention to the games so the Marketing people had to come up with something catchy. Lets call it March Madness.
Although more people watch Basketball more during March Madness the marketing people needed to come up with something else to get people to stop watching other things on TV and tune into people playing a little more sophisticated version of PIG. I am at a friends house right now and have the TV Guide up and decided to browse though the 500 chanels they have. Excitement flows though me as I see Channel 3 has College Lacrosse, the fastest game on two feet. I don’t get the opportunity to watch Lacrosse so I quickly get to channel 3… I am now watching some wierd lacrosse I have never seen before, there are no sticks, there is no grass. There is a wood floor and everyone is pad-less, the ball is bigger and the goals are over their heads… The only thing I recognize is there is this big sign on the middle of the wood field that says NCAA.
Are you telling me that the Marketing of March Madness is now to the point they have to trick people into turning to the channel.
As some of you know I do not have cable, I haven’t had a cable hook up since I lived in Alaska in 1997. This is not because I don’t like TV but because with the internet I really do not need Time Warner to view what I want to view. I have had a lot of people ask how to do this and I will just say http://www.tvtorrents.com You need an invite so let me know and I will send you one.
Anyway, I was also out of the internet for a few months so I have been missing all of the shows and spent the week catching up with Friday Night Lights. Its football you have to like it.
Anyway, here I am sitting in my bed watching Friday Night Lights and low and behold I finished the 15th episode for this season. I went to tvtorrents to get the next episode and guess what I find…
Note: Due to the strike, only 15 of the 22 episodes ordered this season have been completed. This show is considered to have completed airing its 2nd season.
Okay, without TV and Internet for a few months I have been living under a rock. Isn’t this writers Strike over? Finish the seasons already… I want to know what happens…
