ENOUGH ALREADY


I almost can't stand to watch the Rays on television anymore. No, it is not poor play of late. It is not Kevin Kennedy. It is not even Matt Garza spitting 15 times between every pitch. It is the commercials, or rather one commercial in particular, that will make the most sane person consider running head first into their television.




If you have watched a Rays game on television, you have seen it.




"Wayne County High School and West Jones "The Rivalry". It went from 0 to 60 at the snap of a finger." blah blah blah "Wayne County drops down and runs the table and goes 9-0, the next year we're 9-0 and that game just explodes." "When you play a Marcus Boyles team of Wayne County, you've gotta beat 'em. They're not gonna give you nothin."
Now I don't care how big this Mississippi high school football rivalry is. I don't want to see it, I don't want to hear about it and I really don't want to hear the same commercial about it over and over again throughout the Rays' game. Who wants to watch a high school football game unless you went to that school (or are otherwise connected to the school), you know someone who plays on the team or you are scouting someone for college?
With the huge increase in viewership of Rays' games, shouldn't the commercials experience an upgrade as well?
