the man, the myth, the legend; bill raftery
if you’re not a sports fan or if you’ve been living in a cave for the past week, you know march madness is upon us. the ncaa tournament started yesterday, a thursday, leaving many the option to either a) take a vacation day/call out sick b) check scores repeatedly on the internet or c) completely miss the two greatest days of the sports watching season (the first round). but, due to the geniuses at cbs sportsline, you can watch any game currently being played via your computer screen. yes, that’s right, i said any. oh, i forgot to mention, it’s free, too. just create or use a previously created log-in id and password, then launch the player and voila! you are instantly capable of switching between four different basketball games.
you may have noticed, you cannot do this with your television. my current cable provider offers two separate cbs stations, both of which normally carry the same game. cool.
now, not only can i watch these games on my computer while i’m at work, i’m actually tempted to just sit my laptop on my ottoman at home and switch between the three different games that aren’t featured on my cbs television station.
this has to be the single greatest sports-technology innovation since, since … i have no idea. i can’t think of anything that could possibly challenge this. thank you cbs sportsline. you are awesome. i’m surprised i took the time to write this post, considering games are being played as i type.
