How angry was I that the US vs Algeria game wasn't on broadcast TV? Very angry, with a hint of still-sleepiness. I can understand not wanting to bump some prime time So You Think You Can Needle-Point or whatever, but it was like 9:30 in the morning. ABC put The View on instead. No one likes that show. We play it for terrorists to get them to talk, and when we do, they beg to be water-boarded instead. "No! Not Joy Bahar; anything but Joy Bahar! Osama's at a Motel 6 in Cleveland, just please make it stop!"
So, instead of watching the game I find myself reading second-to-second text updates on ESPN.com. I turn the radio on to get the full effect of what life was like before television saved us. We win the game in epic fashion, but reading the action off a website really neuters the moment. To make matters worse, I found out that you can watch the game online, I was just at the wrong page. Lame.
