And Another Thing

Radio daze

And now for today's adventure in DVR rage, aka, "Really? You're going to jail over the Golden Gophers?"

We're all used to fan craziness these days -- seriously, you should see some of the e-mails I get -- but this raises fan craziness to a level far beyond the power of mere mortals to access it. Threatening to shoot someone because you've recorded a game, and the someone in question is playing a radio sports talk show loudly enough for you to hear the hosts discussing the score?

And then you (allegedly) throw a knife? Seriously?

Good thing this clown didn't have a gun, not to get into that whole debate. But it does stir a couple of observations:

1. This is probably not the first time someone's been incited to violence by sports talk radio.

2. Really? You're going to jail over the Golden Gophers?
