Aaron Judge still pissing off college football fans far and wide

Someone gave me a stick to shake. You young people with your apps that allow you to do multiple things at once, decide for yourselves what you want to watch You don't know what it's like to be entertained by a single television in the den and your father tells you to stop changing the channel because the picture flipping is bothering him.

Historic moments in our national pastime were piped into the broadcasts. When Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire made it to 61 home runs, we all wanted to relive that moment.

For a second week in a row, the MLB, Yes Network, and ESPN decided to cut into college football broadcasts and split the screen to see Judge attempt to hit his 62nd home run of the season.

During a college football game involving a team with a chance at the College Football Playoffs, the timing of Judge failing to send a ball over the fence didn't interrupt key moments like they did. The ire of college football fans was still there, with one of their 13-14 Saturdays beingmirched by the Northeastern elites and their pets.

If Judge was actually trying to set a record, the criticism of him would be a bit less harsh. Barry Lamar Bonds has held the MLB single-season home run record since 2001. Bonds has not been stripped of his accomplishments by MLB. The sport was saved by a group of legends, but they were shamed for doing so. The league got self-righteous when it realized it wasn't testing forPEDs. Pro baseball has become a regional game that doesn't evolve with the times.

So of course a football fan from the state of Texas, Oklahoma, MIssissippi, and Kansas wouldn't be interested in seeing Judge not break an MLB record. It doesn't have anything to do with them. Even if hitting 60-plus home runs is an impressive accomplishment, it is not cool for them to see a Yankees broadcast in their town. The young people who watch the college football games have all of the regional pride and school spirit of the fans who came before them, but also have time for jokes about both Judge and the frat fight.
