Stepping cautiously to not sound completely insensitive to those affected by the looming work stoppage of the NBA, it's evident that nobody cares...or at least not that much. Perhaps it's due to the fact that the NFL has just gone through this and most fans who follow both sports aren't interested in following back to back lockouts of billion dollar corporations. Or perhaps, like me, it's because the most watched sport is back in full swing. The NBA lockout is like having 2 kids. One of them just dropped out of high school and the other is working on their doctorate at an Ivy league school on a full scholarship. Guess who won't get talked about much to your co-workers at lunch. And yes, I'm fully aware that comparison is evidence that I should never have any off-spring of my own.
With the Detroit Lions now being 5-0 to date, it brings about this question. How are the decisions made on which cities are uplifted when a team is doing well? When New Orleans was rolling, there were mini Katrina documentaries before each game. Now the Lions are (supposedly) reviving the american car industry with all the blue collar workers making Fords wearing their Barry Sanders throwback jerseys. Why don't we get the documentary on the San Francisco's residents being inspired and renovating the golden gate bridge or Buffalo fans...well, I have no idea what there is in Buffalo so we'll just exclude them for now. The point is, I want the 5 minute Bob Costas monologue on whatever team is playing. All cities can be uplifted to a different level by their team doing well. Some just have a different starting point.
No words for this video. Although, I do think I'd have some words for whoever designed the route we'd take during this race.
Like you said nobody really cares about the NBA lockout due to NFL being back in full swing unless the fan is living in a basketball town. You know when do reproduce your going to have about 5 kids and all them will be PV alumina like their pa. The lions are making an incredible run this year. The city of D town needs soomething to cheer about due to the hard times that the citizens are going threw. I don't think they will bring the superbowl home there but they're going to make a lot of nosie while on their journey. The guy who got rammed off his bike by an antelope was funny but I still think the funniest clip of all time is when the deer mixed on the guy who was hunting
