A few years back, I was picking up a buddy to play golf and his wife was watching some ridiculous reality show about teenage mothers. I could feel IQ points exiting my brain in the minutes I tried not to watch. During the commercial break, I trashed the show and reality TV in general. She replied, “What’s the difference between this and watching sports? It’s all reality TV.”
In retrospect, she was right. Not about what she was watching, that was and still is the highest mountain of garbage at the dump. No, she was right about sports, and there has been no better example of that than this season for the Dallas Cowboys.
