Yesterday, before the super bowl started, I mean four hours before it started the pre-game festivities had already begun. I turned on the TV while eating lunch to see what they were saying. It amounted to not much. My wife walked into the room and asked me to turn it to an obscure channel way up in the, never turned to before, numbers. What did my eye behold but the pregame for the pregame of the not really a game, kitten bowl. Yes on the TV was two people who I used to have respect for as sports announcers reading one of the corniest scripts about how the kittens were trying to play something like football. All that was happening was kittens being enticed to chase after small toys in a box made to look like a stadium. Look, I think kittens are cute, but this was sad, they would cut back to the announcers and then to shots of what was supposed to be the parking lot full of more kittens tailgating. I have watched some dumb things on TV, MTV used to have my vote for the least valuable content on TV, that is after they changed the format to anything but music videos, but now I have decided that the channel showing the kitten bowl is my new winner. I also think that the two announcers should be shunned from the world of sports. Perhaps they already couldn’t get a job, so this is what they had to resort to. In that case, I guess I can’t fault them for getting a paycheck, at least I hope they got hazard pay!
