Today I am 35 years old.

I wasn't familar with this guy until today, but his column really goes a long way toward describing what is wrong with the media in this country. I didn't see the incident first hand because I didn't watch the Super Bowl this year.

There were 2 reasons why I didn't watch. The first is that as a Titans season ticket buyer, I've watched enough professional football. Also, I attended several UT games this year and watched even more on TV. I have devoted enough of my time this year to football.

Second, and maybe more importantly, I'm tired of having the media manufacture these huge events and tell me I must watch. Why do I care about who wins a game between some guys from New England and North Carolina? The more cynical among us claim that the advertisements during the game are the reason to watch these days in the era of NFL parity, but this is even worse justification for watching. Why should I be entertained by 30 second clips designed to entice me into spending money?

Sorry, CBS, but your arguments were just not persuasive enough this year. While I'm thinking about it, there isn't a single show that I ever watch on CBS. The only show that I can even name that appears on CBS is David Letterman's show. Wait. Is it "Late Night with David Letterman" or just "The David Letterman Show"?
