NFL Net is all about ‘me’ TV

EVER get the feeling that TV, its marketing strategists and advertisers won’t quit until every sports-minded kid acts like a self-smitten jerk, then passes it along to their kids?

NFL Network continues to show and rate TD dances, still rewarding the publicly immodest and selfish — what

Roger Goodell now calls “spontaneous fun.”

Why doesn’t NFLN rate the top me-dances that drew penalties? How about ranking those performed by players whose teams were losing? There are plenty of those.

Or how about video of those who were tackled short of the end zone or who fumbled because they slowed to showboat? There are plenty of those, too. That’s how Cam

Newton last season was lost to a concussion.

There’s genuine diversity and qualified inclusion, then there’s transparent tokenism. Six of FOX’s seven NFL sideline reporters will be women. Thus far, FOX’s three announced college football sideline reporters are women, thus make it nine of 10.

Another sweet job of fantasy-based managing by the Mets’ Terry Col

lins on Monday: Three straight relievers allowed no hits and no walks until he found one to lose the game, this time, Erik Goeddel. Arizona’s Torey Lovullo similarly tried to lose, but Collins prevailed.

Reader Larry Kirby demands to know why Red Sox pitcher Doug Fister was allowed to pitch a one-hit complete game Tuesday, in 2017. Answer: Fister was on a two-hit limit.
