Sometimes, all of those sports shows just feel like better reality television, especially if the show is about the NFL and if you’re a Philadelphia Eagles fan. You know you shouldn’t watch because it’s going to make you angry. You tell yourself that you’re changing the channel the next time there’s a commercial. Then, before you know it, they’re talking about something else that keeps you on the same channel. Just take any conversation on Carson Wentz. That’s always going to be must-see television.
That’s true whether you’re watching the jaded and slanted opinions of Skip Bayless (yet another example of the football-illiterate fan base more commonly known as the Dallas Cowboys fans) or whether you’re tuned into some pro-Michigan Wolverines rhetoric courtesy of Rich Eisen.
