Right now is the greatest time in history for broadcast sports. Volume of content, access, variety, picture quality . . . you name it. For someone like me who wants to watch ALL the sports, the current set up is the best it has ever been. Even as traditional TV dies a slow death at the hands of the internet, sports as a broadcast property continues to flourish.
If there was ever an opportunity to let The Sports Junkie flag fly, it should be now! And yet I find myself watching less sports than ever; thanks largely to the glut of commitments that come with middle age. I'm not saying I have given up on following all the sports I hold so dear, but rather that I'm learning to pick my spots. After all, I chose these commitments without a gun to my head.
Oh I used to love starting a fall Saturday with College Game Day and then watching 12 straight hours of football. But that is junkie behavior (also there is no way Dad is being left in peace for that long). At some point you realize that you might have to pick between watching the 4th quarter and watching the 1st quarter which any fan can tell you is a simple choice.
Although I am not ruling out the eventual return of The Sports Junkie, I am saying that, for now, I am leaning into being The SportsDad. The plan is to cover the things I am interested in while providing advice on what and how to watch. I want to share my rare blend of endless sports devotion and cord cutting experience to help those who want to consume sports on a time budget. Thanks for stopping by!
