Takes were solid, sorry to have exposed your lack of NBA fandom.

However, you will be much more informed after you complete all the research I gave you, so your welcome as always, thanks for your call.

Let's see how the T-Wolves, Magic, and Thunder do in the playoffs, did you just recently start watching the NBA? Do you pay attention to it at all, the Jokic 18 free throws? Maybe you watching a different TV than everyone else.

Here is a homework assignment for you, will fully explain in crayon what you need to do, go to the magic google machine, it will take a bit for your Commodore 64 to load everything up, and the video will be a bit wonky, but watch the Dallas Mavericks, they have a kid from Slovenia named Luka Doncic, you likely do not know that Slovenia is a country, but it is and they do have a ton of very tall white guys there that are good at basketball.

Ok lil' fella, you found the video, now press that triangle thing so it will play, now watch how Doncic looks at the ref after every play, then compare that to the old Celtics/Lakers where they did complain, but did not stop playing to berate the ref as the guy they were supposed to be defending was running the other way down court, compare and contrast the two approaches.

Next you will go to a Denver Nuggets video and watch a very, very tall and awkward looking guy named Nikola Jokic, now this will undoubtedly confuse you as he does not look very athletic, but trust me his is a good player. You will also be confused that he is from Serbia, it was likely a part of Yugoslavia the last time you were perusing your Funk & Wagnalls or Encyclopedia Britannica, or maybe you never got past Weekly Reader, but anyway the country of Yugoslavia split up into several places that produces very all white guys. You will notice the same type of thing from Jokic, he even makes a praying type motion to the refs from time to time, which again slows the game down and makes you watch him bitch.

Well, you have a lot of work to do and with the limited capacity of you Commodore 64 it will take hours to load stuff, so go forth and conquer young knight!

NFL product Sucked Ass this year, but those ratings sure were great!

It really did, particularly the first six weeks of the season. The current CBA has basically killed training camp, and it shows in the on-field product.

Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Sucked Ass this year, but those ratings sure were great!

The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade always sucks!

The Kansas City Chiefs/Buffalo Bills game was the highest-rated game in NFL divisional round history.

CBS Sports announced an average of 50.4 million viewers on Sunday Night, making it the most-watched program since Super Bowl LVII last February.

That is pretty crazy. It wasn't long ago that 20-25M was a ridiculous number. This was a divisional game, not even a Championship game and both of those look good on paper also.

The bar is set high though, so look for people like Florio to predict the decline of football if they are only doing 38M next year.

Think about how big the ratings would be if they could get Jelly Roll in a suite!

Do you think the NBA would actually get higher ratings if they cancelled the basketball part of the NBA and just had the same players play a game of flag football?

The Pro Bowl Games skills competition drew double-digit percentage audience increases in the overall ages 18–34 group, and males within that demographic.

Initial figures for this year show that this year's Pro Bowl Games skills competition drew an average audience of 1.14 million, up 8% and the best figure for that part of the event since 2018.

Disagree.

Out of town football is an instant PTFB for MANY Chicago sports radio fans. Or at least it was when I routinely listened to Chicago sports radio.

There isn't more interest in Off Season out of town Football than there is in the NBA right now. No way. No How.

But it turns out there was.

In this Valentine's season, I can say without fear that I heart Frank

No there isn't. NFL Offseason consists of 6 months and the only time anyone cares about it happens to be for 3 days. And you really can't count the 3rd day.
