Great Day for a Sports Fan

Today we were hit with two pieces of great news that I think 99% of sports fans will rejoice over!

First and foremost Tony Kornheiser is done with Monday Night Football!

Tony I love you to death on PTI I think you are smart, witty, and funny. That said though you were horrible on MNF and actually part of the reason MNF stopped being must see TV for me. Its okay if you tell the world you are leaving because you dont’ like the travel, but we all know you knew you were not good. I don’t think i have to go out on much of a limb to say that I’m not the only one who did not like your work on MNF.

Tampa Bay Bucs coach Jon Gruden is in. It should be interesting. I love Mike and Jaws in the booth and I think they could do a fine job with out a third person, but the big whigs insist on having a third so a gruff tell it like it is football guy like Gruden should be good.

Now what else could have come out of the sports world that could be on par with this wonderful news about Kornheiser leaving the show?

Mark this day on your calendar boys and girls i don’t have many good things to say about the commissioner of baseball Bud Selig, but today Bud you got it right. Baseball is moving the start time of the World Series back. The games will start at 7:50 instead of 8:40 or whatever it was the past few years. Sure it is not a huge change but it will help. I’m tired of staying up until 1am to watch a game. I have a big boy job. I have to get up and go to work in the morning. I love baseball and this is the first step in the right direction of not screwing over the east coast. They want ratings and the east coast is notoriously good baseball crowd particularly in the northeast, but people can’t stay up until 1am to watch games.

Don’t get me wrong. I still hate Bud, but this was a good move.
