Pretty stunning to me is that the release of the NFL schedule suddenly requires two-hour television shows by the NFL Network and ESPN. I guess the NFL Network needs to find some reason (any reason) to get people to tune in (the schedule release was just the second time I watched the network since the season ended) but you can’t tell me ESPN couldn’t have used the time better by televising a baseball game. (Hey, at least the Eastern Sports Pansy Network wasn’t showing more Red Sox-Yankees junk that 90 percent of the country doesn’t care about.) When you factor in that there was very little mystery (we already knew the Chargers’ opponents for 2009, we just didn’t know the order) it’s amazing to me that a 30-minute schedule release show can’t suffice … http://www.sdnn.com/sandiego/2009-04-17/sports/mike-sullivan-schedule-schmedule
