Sports Tonight is almost the worst show on television. Not only is it full of enough factual errors to fill the Green Left Weekly but they consistently report only on the bandwagon teams that everybody follows, rather than the teams that are actually good.
It might come as a surprise to those who you who don't care about the NFL that the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins aren't very good. But of course they were once, so the 49% of the fans who don't follow the San Francisco 49'ers for the same reason follow one of those teams.
Now, in last nights NFL action their game was literally the only dead rubber going. The only game with absolutely no impact on the playoff picture. The Cleveland-Atlanta, New England-Miami and Carolina-New Orleans games were absolute thrillers with several teams playoff chances coming down to the last 30 seconds (and in the case of New England and Miami into overtime). What game, of all these, does Sports Tonight show highlights of? Guess what - Dallas/Washington. Not even the SCORES of the other games.
This is almost as bad as the time they had a whole story with the voiceover of an Australian women's hockey match but the pictures were of a Malaysian team playing. The best bit about that was when the voiceover said "The jublilant Australian fans were celebrating" it actually had a close up of two ladies waving a Malaysian flag around.
Not good enough!
