NBC recently announced that they agreed with Major League Soccer to televise 45 of the leagues games a year. With the contract, NBC Sports has solidified their spot as the go-to network for sports no one gives a f**k about.
Professional basketball? Check
Volleyball? Confirmed
The Tour de France? Got it
Hockey? Here!
Notre Dame football? Accounted for
And now Major League Soccer: the crown jewel of suck-ass American sports.
Aside from Notre Dame, the pro football they have sucks too. By Sunday night, I am football-ed out, and if you want to guarantee I hate something, go ahead and include Bob Costas and Chris Collinsworth. They have the biggest bunch of assholes this side of proctology school handling the NFL–Costas, Collinsworth, Peter King, Keith Olbermann. Are they trying to keep this s**t a secret?! I feel like any second they are going to announce they’ve added Glen Beck as an analyst.
In NBC’s defense, they do have the Olympics. Every 4 years. And Pro Football Talk, which I think is the best big NFL site out there.
They also acquired the Versus Network, which, depending on who you ask, either adds to or subtracts from their stable. If you ask this guy? Huge addition, with their non-f**king-stop fishing on Saturday mornings. Maybe I’ll have a Pro Bass Talk to look forward to?
On the plus side, there is now no doubt about what to watch while napping.
