As I look back on how I got into sports, as a kid, cable TV was a big part of it. I can remember being middle school age and watching the 3rd place game of the World Cup, just because it was on, and there wasn't much else on. I mean who cares about the 3rd place game of the world cup unless your country is in it? But I watched it.

My kids would never do that. They'd be binge watching something instead. They'd find something on Netflix or Amazon prime to amuse themselves before they ever thought of flipping over to live sports. They do have the option, but they have literally thousands of choices of cartoons and kids shows they can access just as easily. When I was a kid, sports only had to beat out 2 channels, Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network. If they were both playing something I wasn't into, I'd go to sports.

It makes me wonder if my kids' generation will ever care about televised sports as much as me and my generation did.

My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
