Ridiculous Comment and Factual Error on the Boob Tube

At this point, I probably need not react all that adversely to statements and opinions heard on the air. One might want to let it go, lest one burst a blood vessel.

Yet these two should be pointed out. A “Professor Leakey of the future,” might use them as evidence of the continual “on air” decline.

Last week CBS/NFL Network analyst Phil Simms said he “was looking forward” to tonight’s game between a pair of (2-11) teams, the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans.

Everybody wants to watch two woefully bad teams–don’t they? Also, Simms game commentary is of the “goody goody” type–he rarely offers any criticism.

Up the dial on PBS, commentator Tavis Smiley interviewied Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac, and stated 1993 as the year of Bill Clinton’s Presidential campaign/election, which of course is incorrect. The year was 1992.

Presidential elections occur every FOUR years.
