CU-CSU disappear in 2010

The annual – and alleged – rivalry between CU and CSU gets a new TV home next year.
The Mountain West Network.
The league says because it's a CSU home game, it has the right to televise it.
To absolutely no one in the Denver area unless you're willing to pay for the privilege.
Enjoy.

Coach K to N.J.?

Boy, I hope not.
I can't imagine any odd sequence of events that would allow Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski to leave something safe for the wonderful world of New Jersey Nets basketball.
Why? The Nets are one of the worst collection of basketball players ever drafted. Why would anyone with an ounce of intelligence subject themselves to that?
The main reason is Coach K can pick and choose young men who want to come to his university, who want to play under his system and who will listen to what he has to say. Name me a professional sports team where the inmates don't run the asylum.
Coach K is better off to put the Nets' front office on his permanent "do not answer button."

Fading onto the golf course

Now that Tiger Woods has done the predictable – namely say nothing that hasn't already been said – maybe we can move on to something far more important.
I don't particularly care what the "something far more important" is, unless it's another appearance anyplace by Dr. Phil. But this breathless coverage of what amounts to a non-story is absolutely ridiculous.
What he does in the privacy of his home – and to his family – is his own business.

Excessive noise

I'm glad I know how to use the remote control on the television set so I don't have to listen to otherwise intelligent sportscasters yell "Jumanji" during sports highlight programs.

Four seasons in three hours

Nope. It has nothing to do with the musical group of the '50s, '60s and late '70s. It has nothing to do with "jersey Boys," a wonderful musical about the Four Seasons.
It has everything to do with an afternoon at a prep baseball game in Fort Collins.
Frederick coach Ted Clapp laughed at the ever-changing seasons playing out before his eyes. He was all smiles when the game ended – shortly before it got too dark to even think about playing.

Thank goodness for Dr. Phil

When he popped up on one of the cable TV news programs last night and said how awful school bullying was, I felt much better.
I knew that the world was spinning on the appropriate axis. I knew the sun would come up the next day. And I knew how desperate cable TV news programs are to find someone to tell me that bullying is bad.
Not that viewers of that program couldn't figure that out for themselves.

Initials don't help

Hey MJ (that's ESPN announcer Mark Jones),
Stop with the cute initials only announcing, OK?
There are people in the world who don't have a clue who KG is (Kevin Garnett of Boston, right?) or Melo (Carmelo Anthony of Denver?) and would love to hear PBP (play-by-play) efforts using the King's English, not in the form of Tweets or texts.
It fits the demo (demographic) of your network to a T (that means it's a perfect fit). But ESPN also caters to the over-12 sect.
Another evening of KGs by MJ may make me turn the sound off PDQ.
