Where are the Fans??

I was watching the Sacramento Kings last night, and again, an empty house. So where are the fans? I heard a local radio host talk about going to Ticket Master, and purchasing two tickets to the Cowboys-Giants playoff game. So where are the fans? I have a few thoughts.
1) The fans, just cant afford the season ticket. The prices have gone up, and wages have gone down, you say no. I received a 4.5% raise last year. A good wage increase. My health Insurance cost went up 6%, and the price of gas went up 20%. I think this is the biggest factor.
2) My god, what does it take to get a player off the field. Players feel they are special, carry guns, walk around with gangs, or sorry, their people. Shoot themselves up with Steriods, drugs, and even murder people. But yet they still play. Just maybe us fans are sick of it!!
3) Marginal play. With so many players in the league, there is sub par play at the highest levels. People with contracts play even though the bench warmers are better.
4) With the cost of HD Televisions dropping like a rock, why not stay home, save the $300 dollars for a lower level seat and watch it at home, were the food is better, warmer, and no idiots yelling behind and in front of you...

Later all!

Is the Underdog a good place to be?

Watching all the hype, seeing a Patriot Book getting published, 19-0, and listening to everyone say, what a season to go undefeated. What a team, the best ever, 19-0!! Well one problem, they have yet to go 19-0.

So, lets look at Super Bowl's in the past. Jets, can not beat the Colts, a true 20+ point underdog, The Bronco's will never beat the Packers, the Packers are the new Dynasty, and lets not forget, the Patriots. How can New England ever beat the Greatest Show on Turf, Kurt Warner is the best ever. The Offense is the best ever.

Well just remember that this weekend. How many people even have the Giants in the Super Bowl, thats right, how can the Giants beat the Cowboys, how can the Giants go into the famed Lambeau Field and beat the Packers. Now it is how can the Giants beat the Patriots.

Well, it looks like the Giants are off to a good start.

Super Bowl Media Day

OK, I have to ask, how do I get media credentials for the Super Bowl Media Week? They have Radio Row, in which pod casts, and anyone get broadcast, they have media coverage which has women asking football players to marry her, 10 year old girls asking questions, people in top hats, etc... So how do I get a press pass?? I would really love to know. As I see the NFL turning into a circus. And Brady, and TMZ. Why was only one person following Brady?? And how much is a video worth to get Brady's foot in a boot. So lets just say, in my end of cyber space. Someone got rich, and I think he knows Tom Brady : )
