I was just going to comment on the large number of people who apparently have televisions without a volume control.

I have it set to almost zero on almost every sports broadcast -- just loud enough to hear the crowd reactions and be able to ignore the talking heads.

And that is exactly how I've watched sports for the last several years also.

Good officials let the game come to them. Good sportscasters...if you can find them....do the exact same thing.

One feature I wish TVs had is the opposite of mute. I wish they had a feature to not display any video, but do play the sound.

No problem...he is free to pull for whomever he likes. But it is obvious he loves Duke. I'm pretty sure he sleeps down the hall from Coach K.

Down the hall?

Why does this remind me of the joke about the priest, the cleaning lady and the soup ladle?
