OPEN LETTER TO NETWORKS: GO LIVE AND UNINTERRUPTED

We can’t really hide it anymore: not only have we been watching the World Cup, but are obsessed and checking scores like Tunisia-Saudi Arabia is the Iron Bowl or something. College football has little to learn from the World Cup since fan enthusiasm is on par for insanity (if not scope) and the games can’t even begin a fair comparison because of their obvious, glaring differences. Brian Cushing would make a terrible midfielder, we’re sure, though we think Jan Koller would have been a decent second-string tight end on an American weight-training and diet regimen.

One thing we can learn from the World Cup can be applied rapidly and effectively to the broadcast of the games. Watch a World Cup match and around fifteen minutes in, something strikes you: it’s seamless, uninterrupted sport. The splonking fan horns, the ebbing roar of the fans, the measured patter of the announcers…it rolls for 45 minutes without interruption by a single detestable commercial. Logos of sponsors are displayed prominently in the upper left hand corner for the entirety of the match to earn ad revenue along with periodic chime-ins from the announcers plugging sponsors.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, SMQ

SMQ celebrates one year up and sprinting today. Huzzah, sir! Stop printing your previews and we’ll drive down to your undisclosed location on the Gulf Coast and beat the hell out of you. If that isn’t the most complimentary threat you’ll get all year, we don’t want to know what the winner is.
