ESPN

The only time, and I mean only time ESPN is good is when it's airing the World Cup.

Yes, America, that's right. The World Cup.

Soccer.

Not basketball. Not football. Certainly not baseball.

I often work cashier at a cafeteria, and it's incredibly boring, except for the fact that we can have the TV on and watch it across the room. But every time I'm working, and really into something interesting, like Nancy Grace, some big football player of a guy gets up and turns the channel.

Each and every time, I hope he'll change it to something else. Like, maybe, Top Model reruns. But that would be really weird.

So here comes ESPN and a bunch of talking heads in sports coats sitting around a table, talking about the latest fourteen-year-old basketball prodigy.

Which is cool. Go him.

But really? This is TV?

And why is Sports Center always on? Is that the only show ESPN has?

Wait, I'll answer the question.

Yes, it is!

And if it's not, I'd be surprised.

Because every time that football player changes the channel, the sidebar comes up and people start spitting about baseball players and steroids.
