What is the best week of the sporting year? Some would say Super Bowl week, others late October and the World Series. There are numerous acceptable answers; personally, I'm all over the Tournament's first week in March.
Regardless of your personal sporting preference, however, there can be no debate over what is the
worst week on the sporting calendar. This very week, centered around Baseball's All-Star break, leaves American sport fans without any contests of consequence at the height of summer. The paucity of competition is so heinous that it drives many to trick themselves into caring about meaningless media side-shows like the God-forsaken Home Run Derby. Let me say that again, people
willingly tune into a schlock-fest featuring Chris Berman. That borders on a war crime!
Not satisfied with the misery already laid upon the American public, MLB has outdone themselves by allowing the typically 3-day break to balloon into a fourth evening. You'd think that, by now, I'd learn to anticipate this garbage, and schedule a much deserved vacation...
At least there's the
latest edition of Thorburn's freshman interview series to occupy my attention for a while.
Today in the bag I'll be talking about the brewing QB battle set for CU's fall camp,
baseball's first half, and almost-history from the world of tennis.
