Yeah, I like watching sports on television. And to go with today's sports-related entry, here is another gripe: trying to make something sound newsworthy when it really isn't.
Here is what I mean:
So many times I've watched sports reports and the announcer says something like: "and with that victory, Philadelphia makes the playoffs for the first time since 2007." 2007? You're telling me that they didn't make the playoffs last year? Why is that worth mentioning? Now if it's been many years since Philadelphia made the playoffs, that might be worth reporting. But a couple of years is no big deal.
