For those of you who had the pleasure of staying at home this last Sunday you were blessed with two gifts of entertainment that took up nearly the entire day: the Pro Bowl during the afternoon and the Grammy's at night. I could not stomach either event in its entirety but I did tune in to each one for a significant period of time. I noticed they both have one thing in common, they are both painful to watch. On one hand you have the best NFL players compiled into one All-Star team from each conference and they half-ass it for 60 minutes. Yawn. And then you have the Grammy's; an awards show packed with mainstream horsecrap for music. It's more about the trendy, collaborative performances then the awards itself. And most of the music that is nominated is trash anyway. All this combines for awful, awful television that not only doesn't interest me but makes me angry. As much as I hate the Grammy's I'd have to give them the nod for being less boring than the Pro Bowl solely because they featured a 'Radiohead' performance (Thom and Jonny w/ the USC band) that was pretty cool. The only good thing is they have come and gone and we won't see their BS for another year. Hopefully next year they fall on the same Sunday so I can bitch about it some more.
