Another Hockey Bashing Post

For example, the Scripps National Spelling Bee televised by ESPN last week drew 4 million viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research, while Game 4 of the Stanley Cup finals between the Chicago Blackhawks and Philadelphia Flyers had 3.1 million viewers. more

Pretty embarrassing if you ask me, especially since it is a close series. But what is even more disturbing is the fact that ESPN gave the spelling bee an 8 hour block. I mean I watched it for a couple of minutes here and there, but 8 hours is absurd.

But to be honest, this is the first time I have followed hockey as close as I am. And they can't let this happen. It's really not that bad. I mean I probably wouldn't watch it over a Sox game where Wakefield is pitching against Steve Sparks, but if nothing else was on, I would give it a try. I don't know how you would market it better (Maybe not have most season games on the VS Network could be a start), but this really can't happen.

Either way I'm glad all the scumbag Philly fans aren't being as obnoxious.... Homos
