I saw a good post today on orting.blogspot.com.
Here’s a summary….

This could have been an opportunity for endless promotions for the struggling San Diego Fox5 News.
Just think: A World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Boston Red Sox would mean tons of viewers for Fox5 watching Manny Ramirez face his old team.
Then, Fox5 could promote the heck out of its glamour girls such as Kathleen Bade, Arthel Neville and Chrissy Russo from its bumbling news shows.
Well, bad news for the Dodgers and Red Sox could mean worse news for Fox5 … if the Dodgers and Red Sox don’t make the World Series; forget about high rankings for Tampa Bay vs. Philadelphia.
And even more so in San Diego, forget about the multitude of viewers who could be inundated with Fox5 News promos during the World Series.
Low ratings would certainly be the order of the day for Rays-Phillies; just as low rankings now follow Fox5 news because it still isn’t up […]

Did you see the senseless quote from Mark Fabiani of the Chargers in the San Diego Union-Tribune?
“There’s a world for a team with an old stadium – a world where you’re consistently behind. It’s a world you see in baseball all the time,” the Chargers’ current (and Bill Clinton’s former) spin doctor said.
Well, let’s look at the last six World Series winners, see where they played and figure out who’s really behind:
2002: Anaheim Angels (35-year-old stadium)2003: Florida Marlins (16-year-old stadium)2004: Boston Red Sox (92-year-old stadium)2005: Chicago White Sox (14-year-old rebuilt stadium)2006: St. Louis Cardinals (new ballpark)2007: Boston Red Sox (95-year-old stadium)
If you look at it, the teams with older stadiums are winning the World Series more times than not.
And oh, by the way, the last two Super Bowl winners were the Indianapolis Colts and New York Giants.
The Colts played in a 23-year-old stadium; the Giants a 31-year-old stadium.
So much for […]

Remember back when we were all feeling so sorry for Boston Red Sox fans until their team won the World Series in 2004?
Well, four years later, aren’t you tired of hearing about Boston fans?
Sure, their Celtics won their 17th NBA championship last night. The Red Sox have won two World Series in four years and the Patriots have three titles this millennium.
Frankly, the Boston faithful were much more lovable when their teams were losing.
Who can remember that the Celtics went 22 years before winning their latest title? Or the Red Sox going 86 years between championships? Or the Patriots losing to the Chargers, 51-10, in the 1963 American Football League championship game?
The New Englanders woke up today with one more title; which very well may be one more than San Diego earns in the entire 21st century.
Even so, the New England area is likely in for another miserable, muggy summer. […]
