So, thanks to a a minor budgetary crunch a few months back, combined with the malicious lies of my cable provider, I was forced to downgrade my programing package to only internet and the basic, 14-channel TV. Have you ever gotten drunk while watching a spelling bee? I have. And it was epic.

Anyway, my one saving grace has been that, inexplicably, ESPN2 somehow leaks in to my cable. And thus, it has become the most-watched channel in my apartment. Here are a few of the things a sports fan can learn from ESPN2 and basic cable.

If the Yankees, Red Sox, Cowboys, Lakers, or Terrell Owens so much as pick their nose, it’s primetime news.

I spend a good chunk of my mornings before work watching ESPN2’s First Take, and I am so sick of hearing about the Yankees. Yes, we know you’re all rich. Yes, we realize you’re the most accomplished team in pro sports. But is ESPN so worried that we’ll forget about them that the must be included twice in each and every program? Same goes for the Cowboys – the most overrated team in the NFL.

Certain Sports are best enjoyed with intoxicants.

Bull riding, poker (which I love), Scrabble tournaments, Polka dancing, any cartoon on PBS%
