Have you ever wondered who watches what, who listens to what, who reads what?

The true numbers might surprise you.

There's an ugly show on ESPN weekday mornings called First Take during which an unpleasant person named Skip Bayless creates and spews sports anger. Watching this junk makes a person want to give up sports and read some books.

The ratings for First Take are: .03.

This means that of all the TV sets turned to cable television, approximately three dozen convicts are watching First Take.

So perhaps there is hope, maybe the real sports fans know where to look for the goods after all.

As a gigantic football season rolls nearer, you need to know where the power is. Radio ratings? More people read us on a slow day than tune in to all that radio stuff shovelled together.
