Games Boys Play
Last time it was the NBA, then it’s Formula 1, now I see my husband is revved up for Fantasy Football. He’s been reading up on the top NFL picks the couple of days that it’s all he thinks about. What is it with men and their sports?!? I guess its ok since it is healthy competition after all. Boys will be boys!
Sports = Big Business
The use of various media in the Pacquiao/Diaz fights reminds me of what the Americans have done with the NFL the last couple of years. Whereas before you can just sit down and watch a match with any cable connection now you have to subscribe to a specific channel – the NFL TV or NFL TV Package. Gone are the days of just channel surfing and just chancing on a certain match, today we have to keep track of schedules. The funny part is regular matches are scheduled and “provided” different from special matches which you can get through an NFL Sunday Ticket, or the scheduled Sunday matches which you have to subscribe to. Pretty soon Pacquiao matches will only be available through Direct TV, or whatever that means. We’ll probably end up watching him matches at the nearest SM mall.
