When I watch baseball on ESPN, I often get the feeling sometime in August that the damned in Hell to get to watch MLB baseball, but all they get is ESPN covering The Yankees playing The Red Sox.
Keep your fingers crossed for different content here.
Ultimately, if U-T TV wants to make a naked (sometimes literally) play for lowest-common-denominator programming, that’s U-T TV’s prerogative. But let’s call it what it is.
Forcing viewers who want to glean real insight from your content to wade through a sea of blonde stereotypes and penis innuendo is not “bold,” it’s banal. Treading the well-worn path of hosts who favor sexist jokes — one of the most tired fallbacks that exists in media — is not “ambitious,” it’s lazy. And showcasing an endless parade of “Anchorman” impersonators does not constitute a “new frontier” — it’s a shtick that proved embarrassing and outdated even by fictional 1970s standards.
Final: Sixers 103, Lakers 99. LAL couldn’t buy a bucket all night, finishing at 39.4%, incl. 3 of 22 from 3. Howard 1 of 7, MWP 6 of 17.

Really? Dwight Howard & MWP aren’t producing?
Ya know, I’ve been going back-and-forth with the notion to DVRs for the house - that’s another $28 a month going out the door. Shit like this doesn’t make me want to flip it over to Cox.
Must have compassion for Kody Brown
Sometimes I see the guy drowning in estrogen on Sister Wives. Then I remind myself that he’s not trying to live with so many women the way Hugh Hefner does to get myself to not laugh at him.
Jeff’s experience as a news executive is unmatched for its breadth and success,” Kent said. “He built and sustained the number-one brand in morning news, and under his watch NBC’s signature news programming set a standard for quality and professionalism.
I can’t say that Dirty Jobs never jumped the shark (since I literally leaped over one in season two), but I’m proud to say it’s still the same hatchet. The last episode looked pretty much like the first. We didn’t become something we weren’t. We never shared the sewer with Paris Hilton, and we never invited you to “tune in next week for a very special Dirty Jobs.” We stuck to the mission statement. We stayed small. We worked hard. And we had a hell of a good time. It was as they say, a very good run.

I’m compromising by buying a car from a company that doesn’t care to have a detail oriented person who knows how to use a spelling checker sell me a used car. But I’m not compromising my principles that people with criminal records who have done their time have a right to have input in to this clusterfuck that we call a republic.
Just to give you an idea about how strongly I feel about it, I’d rather watch the two teams that defeated My Padres in the MLB World Series play instead.
But if you want to sell out, be my guest. Don’t forget to scrub twice after the debate to wipe the scuzz off of you when you bathe.

Criminal records? Jeez….
That confirms it, CNN - it’s just a dog and pony show tonight.
Leaked Debate Agreement Shows Both Obama and Romney are Sniveling Cowards
Both campaigns are terrified at anything even remotely spontaneous happening.
They aren’t permitted to ask each other questions, propose pledges to each other, or walk outside a “predesignated area.” And for the town-hall-style debate tomorrow night, the audience members posing questions aren’t allowed to ask follow-ups (their mics will be cut off as soon as they get their questions out). Nor will moderator Candy Crowley.
If you want to watch a real contest tonight, you can watch baseball.
