We are officially in the doldrums of the sports calendar. I mean, I've been getting bored watching Sportscenter in recent days. That is unheard of. I usually watch ESPN around 3 hours a day. Recently, my daily viewing of television's best channel has been down to about one hour. There is nothing going on.
