The George Michael Sports Machine Comes To An End After 27 Years
The final episode of The George Michael Sports Machine aired this weekend after a long 27 year long run. That era is now over as Michael has decided to pull the plug on the show. This Sunday was its last broadcast. According to an article in USA Today Michael decided to end the program after NBC, who distributed The Sports Machine and owns the Washington D.C. affiliate where George was a sportscaster since 1980, requested drastic staff cuts due to budgetary issues. Michael told executives that he would need to be the first person let go, and he was. Despite this, the parting between Michael and the network was amicable. I loved to watch the monthly weird, wacky and wild plays of the month which he compiled and looked forward to the annual best of the weird plays of year. It always got me laughing as well as looking on in amazement with some of the unbelievable plays. Michael also created some great packages on sports stories ranging from the outstanding to the touching. I’m going to miss the show. The George Michael Sports Machine was ESPN before ESPN was cool.

Theodore Roosevelt criticizes Liberal Idiots
I don’t understand why liberals object to being called unpatriotic; after all, they hate everything that America stands for. Damn it, if you’re a traitor, stand tall and announce it proudly.
