So, this might not be funny to anyone else, but I thought I would post it anyway.

In case you aren't aware, ESPN is running a series called "Who's Now: Determine the Ultimate Sports Star". The summary is that it is a bracket-style competition between current star athletes to determine the coolest, biggest, whatever. There is an expert panel that votes, yadda yadda, and people can vote online (I think). My real summary is that it is retarded.

I decided to voice my frustration by posting the following comment on espn's site, and share it here with you. And if you don't laugh, and you think this competition is cool, the come over to my place so I can punch you in the face.

Anyway, my comment:

An open letter to the entire ESPN organization:

Dear ESPN,

I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you. Since you began airing your quest to "determine the Ultimate Sports Star", I am no longer late for work. I believe my boss will be thanking you separately. My morning ritual of watching Sportscenter has been abandoned, replaced with swearing and attempting to kick the neighbors' dogs. As the anger has faded, I have lost any and all interest in watching the show and all your networks for that matter. My friends through sheer determination have prevented me from losing my love of athletic competition altogether. There have been a few close calls in the matter, and unfortunately not all of them ended well. I hope all will be forgiven and we will all be stronger for it.

I would really just like to say that "Who's Now" is the most ridiculous and most annoying waste of time, energy, and over-elaborate digital graphics I have seen since the third Matrix movie. I add my voice to the jeers of others on this comment board. This series has made me question my love of television. How dare you.

"Who's Now" has made us, as a nation, all just a little stupider. It has also made this stupidity evident to the world. I only pray that in the future you will keep things like this where they belong: on the web or in sidebars in your magazine.

I await your apology and “Who’s Now”-free programming.
