While the electronic media is going absolutely berzerk over the antics of seven-foot millionaires with the ability to put a ball through a hoop, I tend to tune in on the flashbacks of the 75th anniversary of The Normandy landing.
There's a good reason. I was 13 years old when the war ended and by then had 5 years of conditioning keeping up with people like generals Montgomery Vs. Rommel (The Desert Fox); General Heinz Guderian Vs. Marshal Zhukov; Churchill Vs. Hitler; Gen. Chiang kai Shek Vs. Gen. Hideki Tojo; and finally, dictators Hitler Vs Stalin.
It should be quite clear why people who grew up in my generation would tend to find sports events of marginal interest.
Like....what do you do for an encore?
