Regarding MNF, Tirico is ok, but I never liked Gruden. But I’m boycotting the NFL permanently, unless it changes its corporate attitude on political/social issues.
AHHH YES, FOOTBALL
Football – along with “professional” wrestling – is the Heavyweight Division of the Celebrity Worship Club where watching 300 pound men in tights making 6 and 7 figure salaries knock the piss out of one another will somehow make the lives of those who witness this activity better and more worthwhile.
The Beautiful People Division of the Club, which serves a similar purpose (occasionally sans the violence) is currently headed by some Armenian American Princess named Kim Kardashian. With no demonstrable talent, this broad is best known for the considerable size of her breasts and gluteus maximus muscles which are so large they have been assigned their own zip code and her tits are believed to have an independent weather system. And thanks to the mindless morons who are living their pathetic lives vicariously through her BS TV shows, this “Famous” for being “famous” broad (what the hell's THAT all about??) is able to lose over 11 million bucks worth of jewelry to a thief in Paris. As is the case with the Heavyweight Division, watching and reading about the comings and goings of the members of this division is also believed to enhance the lives of the average citizen.
In the early days of the American Republic, there was also a Political Division. It was disbanded due to loss of interest after the election of “progressive” hero Woodrow Wilson, father of the One World forerunner of the beloved United Nations, the League of Nations, the Federal Reserve and – drum roll, please – THE INCOME TAX!
In that vein, a wag once lamented the numbers of “citizens” (and I use the term VERY loosely) who take no interest in politics by correctly remarking “You may not be interested in politics but, trust me when I say that POLITICS HAS A KEEN INTEREST IN YOU!' That's a variation of a comment by Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. who also correctly opined in 1884 “...as life is action and passion, it is required of a man that he should share the passion and action of his time at peril of being judged not to have lived.”
