sports crawl

i hate the crawl, this is the information age. if i wish to know something, i will go online or find the information. i work the afternoon shift, i have for 15 years (another post) worked the afternoon shift. some reasons for afternoon shift.

1. i like to stay up drinking all night.
2. i like to play golf in the morning, when the real golfers play.
3. less management = less morons.
4. i get more done.
5. i can make decisions quickly, helping our company without idiot approval.
6. 100% less "meetings", when, has anything been accomplished with a "meeting"?

back to the hatred of the crawl.
i am a sports nut, i try to watch almost everything relevant at the highest levels of sports, meaning no women (except some womens tennis, only the hot babe matches and just to see if the high beams are on) sports or x-game type putridity. baseball, hockey, football, golf, motorsports, and no, soccer is not a sport. i follow most of the other sports and know what is going on, generally just to make snide comments.

since i work the off shift, i record everything. because of this i can watch 9 to 10 hours of sports in 5 hours or so.

i watch very little of espn-2 they always have the crawl.
espn is right behind.
abc/espn is starting to intrude.
fox is fairly decent on everyday but sunday.
nbc, do they broadcast sports.
wgn does great, only scores for baseball during cub games and not that often.

i have quit watching sports center, berhman was bad enough, now it is bitches crapping up the airwaves.

i do not know about you but, crap, women sports desk wenches just plain suck, they read the info, like barak but have no stinking idea or real enthusiasm for what they are doing.

to watch the nfl on sunday i apply the following, (i only get 4 games) since i can not get the nfl package on my cable system. directtv is the only system that offers the package.

everywhere else in the world anyone can get the sunday ticket. the u.s. the biggest nfl market directtv has a monopoly, (just wait until nfl network has pay per view games)oh yea i do not get nfl network either.

on to how to watch multiple games.

1. dvr all games. if only one early game, obviously watch that first. otherwise,
2. cbs has their crawl on the bottom of the screen. i have a block for the bottom of the screen. start with this game. when "in game" reports start / have last channel programmed to non sports channel and be quick about it.
3. at half of first recorded game start watching the first half of the recorded fox game, (this way you generally get to enjoy at least half of each game) their crawl is in the corner, you can usually just ignore it but you can not block it.
4. switch back to cbs, watch that game until completion. if "bonus" coverage starts, go back to fox game.
5. finish watching fox game. then go back to "bonus" games on cbs.
6. watch late game, if the late game is double header follow the above after watching early game.
7. watch late game on nbc, fat madden is just plain stupid.
8. if you are a race fan, (i have 2 dvr's running on my main tv). usually f1 runs early since it is usually in europe. watch f1 before football. then watch irl after football, since football generally does not update irl.
9. do not watch or support japcar.

watch monday night football.

USE and I mean USE intimidating tactics to insure co-workers do not give scores away, i mean flipping intimidate them. do not be a puss, bad things will follow anyone who gives information on games of any sort........ any information on any game or sport. my co-workers do not even acknowledge that a game or sport is taking place...... this is imperative..... unless i broach the game or subject and acknowledge it is ok.

i have refused to acknowledge the existence of persons who have violated the no score rule. for lengthy, lengthy amounts of time. it really pisses me off.
