And now the Superbowl, too?

I just got done reading an article on TPM that gave a preview of what to expect on Superbowl Sunday by our good friends at Fox News.  In addition to their normal snide remarks and bad commentary during the game, we are also going to have to put up with their POLITICAL commentary.  Yes, you heard that right: The Official News Channel of the GOP is going to mix politics with the Great American Game.  Follow me for a rant after the break.

Look.  I know that NFL is a bunch of millionaires playing for billionaires, the game is way over commercialized and most of them are probably on steroids.  But, I like having one Sunday a year where I can get together with some friends, eat a bunch of junk food, throw back a couple of Fat Tires and watch a over-hyped game and a bunch of lame commercials.  It's the American in me.

In short, I am looking for a respite of the day-to-day grind - a bit of escapism if you will.  But now Fox is going to go and take that all away and give me a bunch of crap about how the 'candidates' view the game, financial analysis from their 'faith based' investment channel on how the commercials will help the companies who pay for them and probably a 'liberal' dose of their editorial analysis of both.  I will vomit if I watch this.

So I hereby make a pledge to simply skip the game this year.  I will probably better off because of it.  I wonder what KO thinks of all of this?
