Michael, It's May

I really enjoy listening to sports talk radio but only in small doses. I favor the national broadcasts such "The Dan Patrick Show" or "Mike and Mike in the Morning" simply because they discuss a wide variety of topics with an unbiased perceptive. Not only do they cover a wide range of topics they focus on what's going on right then and there as opposed to looking forward to a particular season months in advance. 

Unfortunately,  some of the local shows here in DFW do not follow suit as they should in my opinion. Today as I was tuning into the "The Michael Irvin Show"

I wanted to hear something about the Mavs playoff push or the Rangers early season struggles but I was was wrong.

The topic of conversation: Cowboys Rookie Camp. What? Really? It's May, right?

And when does training camp start?.... July. And when does the first meaningful snap occur?... September. So why on May 1 does the entire focus of  two hours need to be on how Cowboys' rookie QB Stephen McGee looked in practice today? It's just ridiculous. I know that Michael was the greatest receiver in Cowboys history but does he or the other two guys on his show know any other sport besides football?

 And here's a news flash that every Cowboys fan reading this and disagreeing should come to grips with: America's Team stinks. They are a sinking ship and that has not won a playoff game since the Clinton Administration. The Rangers have won as many playoff games in the last decade as the Cowboys... ONE.

So why don't we spend a whole show in December talking about how good or bad Ian Kinsler looked in the indoor batting cages that day?.... because nobody cares until the first pitch is thrown and that's the way it should be. Nobody cares about the Cowboys' rookie camp except the people who are getting paid to care which are the coaches and players. 

I know that this is football state but do your job and cover the teams that are actually winning and losing right now instead of in five months.
