Get the fuck off the TV on the weekends. Saturday and Sunday are for football. PERIOD.

Amen.
And while you're at it, STOP promoting NASCAR during NBA games! People who follow the NBA are not NASCAR fans and never will be.

That is funny that they actually do that. You would think those two customer bases are apart as far apart as you can get.
I just dont understand the appeal of NASCAR. I'm not at all sure it is actually a sport.

Yeah, really. The NBA's fanbase is primarily urban and black while NASCAR's fanbase in predominantly rural and white. Talk about a hard sell. You are about as likely to persuade the average urban hip-hopper to attend a KKK rally as watch NASCAR. The NASCAR marketers are just spinning their wheels so to speak.
As for the sport, as far as I can tell the general idea is to get a bunch of rednecks driving around in a circle for an hour while the audience gets drunk on Miller High Life.
Getting hammered does seem to help with enjoying such a "spectacle".
Whatever floats your boat I guess.

Another bonehead move is showing and promoting ECW "pro" wrestling on the SciFi network.

I'm a pretty big fan of motorsports.
I think they should kill anyone involved in or that pays attention to NASCAR though.
And replace it with real racing.
