self motivating myself

That's one of the brilliant things Michael Irivin said on ESPN Saturday, during the NFL Daft, as in, "You gotta be daft to watch this garbage more than 30 seconds.'' I came in from the Reds pressbox between innings, just long enough to hear snippets of coverage. It set new standards for inanity, which I thought was impossible for a Daft broadcast. It isnt just that Chris Berman -- he's really Fred Flintstone, right? -- has crossed the line from Annoying to Unwatchable, or that Mel Kiper's steel-belted radial hairdo could stop a train. It was the incredible, non-stop droning about every player. Listen, the teams that pick these people don't know if they can play, OK? They don't know for sure from difference makers, projects and tweeners. What the hell's a tweener, anyway? Daft Day is too many people offering too many opinions with too little justification. I love the NFL. I hate the NFL Daft. Thank god the Reds gave me a reason to stay away. I like their upside.
