A pissed off sports fan

So there I was. Sitting in my favorite old chair.  Nuked leftover pizza? Check. Six-pack on ice? Check. My two little yorkie boys giving me looks of love? Well, kinda, though I suspect they had an ulterior motive (see pizza above).

And flipping back and forth between the PGA Valspar tourney and NCAA hoops. What could go wrong?

While watching golf on NBC, they broke into it with a "red alert" newscast. Holy cow. Were nukes incoming?

Nope, nothing near as exciting as that. Just an update on that pesky Mueller report that's been going on for so long.

Turns out, after almost two years, Mr. Mueller and his investigative crew drew "no conclusions" over whether Donald Trump and his family committed various crimes. Not enough evidence to charge them, but explicitly not a total vindication either. OK, got it. Now can we get back to golf?

Oh no. The same guy, reading from the same papers, had to say it all over again, and then again a third time.

To REALLY insult our intelligence, some female talking head that worked for the network asked him to clarify what had already been clearly stated three times. So on he went again.

Click. A commercial during the basketball game. Out of curiosity, I checked out the other major networks. Sure enough, they were all blathering on about the same "non-news". Over and over again, the very same stuff.

Hey, it's bad enough one network feels the need to keep repeating itself, but all of them? What is it with the herd mentality of these folks anyway?

Put it on CNN, a news network, and leave the sports alone, you idiots.

Finally, back to CBS, which was showing hoops. Ah man, a little behind the others, here's comes their "newsbreak" too. Yep, the same old tripe, only-- OMG -- it only lasted a couple minutes, which was all that was needed in the first place on all the other channels, then they returned to basketball.

And the moral of the story?

President here. Collusion there. Russians, witch hunts, slimy politicians, nefarious underlings everywhere. At the highest level of American politics.

But despite all that, not even those folks can, pardon the pun, trump March Madness.

Which is as it should be.

Golf maybe, but not the "tournament".

Best game of the Sweet Sixteen?

Gonzaga versus Florida State.
