football

I just have to have it out with guys who think that one football game being watched on TV justifies every football game being watched on TV.  The other day I was at the one house with a TV, admittedly to watch a Ravens/49ers game.  But for some reason,  the clicker command decided that every commercial break needed to be spent checking the scores of the 1) Florida U v. Florida State game, 2) The Steelers v. Packers game, 3) the Army v. Connecticut game, and 4) and Some Random High School v. Some Random High School game.  (Fortunately we didn't watch much of that one.)

Look, isn't one football game enough?  Really,  You don't see people doing this with any other kind of show.  If The Office, goes to break, they switch to the news, not Parks and Rec.  I don't juggle between three different baseball games during the playoffs.  The scores run the on the bottom the screen.   Are these guys worried that we will miss a better football game?  I don't get it.

Here's a better system,  at commercial breaks, the clicker command surrenders the remote to some person selected by vote of the people.  If said person is female, she will do the reasonable thing of keeping the same channel so that we can watch the commercials.  If the person selected is male, he will probably submit the group to a demonstration of how fast he cant flick through channels, because men are not interested in what's on TV; they are interested in what else is one TV.
