They're a really bad company to have a monopoly on sports stuff. And next up will be their monopoly on trading cards. A few years ago they purchased Topps. And next season all NFL cards are theirs.

He was a class act and a great commentator all those years on WMAL in DC. I remember my dad muting the sound for whoever was narrating the Redskins games back then and turning on AM-63 to listen to Sonny's comments, which were much more insightful and interesting from a player-on-the-field POV than anything the others were saying, who focused more on statistics than the actual game being played.He will definitely be missed...
Its disappointing how much of a clown Pratt turned out to be.
the dance off guy?
I'll be honest with y'all (I'm not from the south but what the hell!)..
in recent years I have found myself becoming more disinterested in professional sports, particularly football...10 - 15 years ago I was a die-hard Philadelphia Eagles fan, and hung on everything Eagles, every bit of news, watched every game religiously, planned my Sundays around the game, you get the idea....
but then a paradigm shift happened and I think I know what it was: the hyper-commercialism of sports...Now I know that this has always been present, but I think what did it for me was when they started squeezing in ads in between plays, for me this was a threshold that was too much. Then I realized that just about every second of every game: they are trying to sell you something...and it just got too much....now I am not that vested in the games and more often than not will just wait to watch the highlights on youtube, which pop up about 2 hrs after game completion....
just wondering if anyone has experienced this same phenomenon?

Gambling is what has driven me away from professional sports. I used to love the NFL.
