There were NO SPORTS YESTERDAY. :D

Nothing! :D:D

NOT A SINGLE EVENT TO BE REPORTED UPON.

I have never seen this in my life. Like George Costanza, I read the sports page cover to cover, and would do so, even if my hair were on fire, but this is ridiculous.

Has anyone ever seen a day as bleak?

 

When oh when will the football season start? :D

what about bobby abreu? i know it's only the all-star game and i know it's only the homerun derby, but at least it was something to watch. actually, that was the only thing to watch last night. being a phillies fan, it enjoyable.

 

but overall, i do agree that it is a rough time of year. the ticker was sad last night. it was reporting nba rookie signings, year to date baseball stats, and um, and...well, yeah, it's bleak.

Factoid: There are only two days during the year when there is never a professional game (NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL) scheduled. The day before and the day after the All-Star game. Every other day of the year typically has a game of some kind scheduled.

My personal favorite week of the year is when the NFL is going on, the MLB is over and the NBA has not started. Sportscenter is almost 100% football.

I miss hockey.

 

Even if you don't like hockey, it's the only place you can find two white guys beating the snot out of each other.

Yep. I used to really love this when Denver had to share Mile High with the Rockies and part of the infield was just dirt. I couldn't wait for baseball to end.

Did not know that. Nice.

But today was even worse as not even the peripheral sports were on (tennis, tour de france, soccer, WNBA, nascar etc..)
