I went to go run up and down the Hyde Street hill here in SF last night while Brian was playing at Jack’s Cannery at the wharves, and when I got back, the ESPYs were on in the bar. I think watching sports is among the most boring things you can do with a television, I think I’d rather stare at a blank screen.
It turns out it’s even more boring to watch athletes accept awards for doing really well at being boring on TV. Even the people accepting the awards seemed like they had better things to do or win. Like, I dunno, Olympic Golds or World Series rings. And, Internet? Why are non-athletes attending this? Does Michael Phelps go to the Emmys? I watched Zac Efron present, I’m not sure that anyone in the NFL knows who he is.
It needed a few more evening gowns, Ryan Seacrest and George Clooneys to scratch my awards show itch, thank you very much.
