Desperation .....



According to Roger Goodell, the recently completed NFL 2020 draft  ( 72 hours ) set a record for audience..... watching on TV, and from the Kremlin.

This, for the single most boring event, in the world.

All fans would be just as happy to receive a text of the players their team selected, and a second list of un-drafted free agents signed. No TV required.  Nor pre-draft hype, draft day ( s) hype, or post draft hype.

We are so eager for anything that gives even a semblance of live sports, that 8 zillion idiots tuned in for the endless commercials,  and the meaningless bull-shit vomited out of the mouths of Mel Keiper and others.  For 72 fucking hours.

And we are supposed to be thrilled to learn that all of these people actually live somewhere?  In rooms?  Sometimes with pets?  What an intimate insight.

Personally, I think the NFL should extend the draft to a full week.  One player for each team, for each round. Start at 7am EST and end no later than midnight.  And here is the kicker;  no one
involved ( including...especially...Roger Goodell )....is allowed to sleep until Mr. Irrelevant goes to the Giants , at the end of round 7.

Maybe we will watch MLB with no fans and artificial sounds.  How tough can it be, by the way, to fake crowd shots?

If we turn this task over to the Astros , they will know how to fool everyone into thinking what we are watching is real.

We are fucking desperate.

Bitty, you know, they're not actually that perfect. I can think of a few pairs that I have known that were better.

Baseball is withering away. NFL puts on this this dreck and America is entranced. But if/when this all ends the only thing America will think about regarding baseball is, "eh, guess we can live without it." Meanwhile the millionaires and billionaires are slashing the minor leagues and squabbling over the meaning of "pro-rated." Downsized minor leagues is the canary in a coal mine. Cable bubble burst is next. A decade from now, professional baseball will be a niche interest. The industry will be worth half of what it is now, in real value. Contraction will be under discussion, if not already accomplished...Tampa, Oakland, Pittsburgh, KC maybe. Baseball is in a lot of trouble. It'll be lucky to have the NHL's margins in ten years.

I continue to refer everyone to this season of "Brockmire" for an only slightly exaggerated depiction of the future of baseball.

The NFL will self-implode. Just give it a little more time.
