where do I start ... lets try with comercialism
If it were not for the sponsors you would not see any of the coverage on TV
and just like anything else guns don't kill people kill - same can be said about beer - if people ain't smart enough to be responsible for their actions and enjoy moderate consumption what ever brand is advertising will not make a difference - everyone knows beer will make you drunk if you drink too many - if it offends you don't watch it - if the beer companys don't sponsor it - it will not be on TV - its all about money - never truer statement made - if they cannot make money they ain't going to show it on TV- B.A.S.S don't make money they will quit having the tournaments - I do not know of any sport or any other event that is popular enough to be televised that does not have major corporate sponsors - and if folks need Cialis or what ever and its legal and they can afford it and it don't take tax money and it makes them happy - then I am happy for them
As for Icconelli - I do not pull for him - but he is a hell of a good fisherman - and yes he does a lot to try and get kids involved in fishing - and you might not like his antics but he gets your attention - and when does he do it ? - after he has caught a big fish - some may think this not good sportsmanship - I dont think this is the case I think it is more of a matter of showmanship - I don't really care for it but most the time I laugh at him - sounds like the bunch I fish with when we are wagering a little
Fact is I do not bass fish - use to some - but I rather fish for something I can eat - but I do enjoy watching it on TV - especially the Classic - so I can put up with Cialis and Busch Beer and Mike Icconelli screaming - and next week I will go back and crappie fish or will go down to the coast and try my luck for flounder and trout - and on the weekend when the water is full I will set in the living room and watch fellers try to snare green carp
with my mind on crappie and crappie on my mind -
and if ya'll see Goober later tellem I said duh huh - he'll know what ya mean!!!!!!!!
