Oh how the mighty have fallen. I know it is Tuesday and Monday did not provide a lot of marquee games but to lead off SportsCenter with a PRESEASON Football game? I mean, there must be something more important going on than PRESEASON Football? ESPN even brought in one of their talking head "analyzers" for some hard hitting conversion about PRESEASON Football. Couldn't they talk about the big game played between the Giants and Atlanta. Or, you could mention the fact the Astros won again and have started to make a charge towards the playoffs. Talk about the huge week and a half coming up for Boston, Oakland, Texas and Anaheim as they all play one another. But no, PRESEASON Football is the choice as the most important sports event of the past 24-hours.

The slow demise of the "World Wide Leader in Sports" is truly troubling. The weird part is. Nobody seems to notice?? If you agree of disagree drop me a line as I'd love to talk about this some more.
