Sports: Celebrity Free

Are you ready for some celebrity free Football?

Does anyone watch a sporting event because there is a celebrity hyping it up? It seems for the last 10 years, there has been a national sports event on tv that has some celebrity talking about the event. They are either speaking about it as some expert. They are singing their songs before, during, and after the games.. They are paraded around and interviewed as if their words mean something and are important.

I've had enough!

These pompous producer types who know nothing of sports think putting some celebrity will help with the ratings. Well it doesnt help me pal. I change the channel or I hit mute. I'm more apt to not support your shows because of it.

I don't care that Billy Crystal loves the Yankees. I don't care the Snoop Dog has Steelers season tickets. I don't care that Kid Rock is a Red Wings fan. It means NOTHING to me.

Whatever happened to just talking about the game? Whatever happened to pregame shows talking about the x's and o's? Now it's all about the show. It's all about the entertainment. I'm sick of it and I can't take it anymore. It's very frustrating and I'm turned off by it.

Are there any old school sports geeks and freaks out there; or am I part of a dying breed? Every game now is the Super Bowl, and every artist is pushed down our throats as they combine highlight clips with their new songs. B O R I N G.

Somebody get me a doctor!
