Mud in Your Eye

I’m still one of the losers who don’t have TiVo or a DVR, and while my technological shortcomings are a little embarrassing, mostly I’m just pissed about the amount of racing I miss. Knee surgery has put me in the perfect position to enjoy all the programming my cable package has to offer – feet up, drugged up and surrounded by snacks and soft pillows.

Just today I’ve been catching up on Nitro Circus on Spike, AMA Pro Hillclimbing on SPEED and even some BITD 4-wheeled action on FSN (which was particularly crappy coverage, might I add). I still have to sort through the typical midday garbage like Dr. Phil and Tyra, but if there’s one good thing to come from knee surgery so far it’s been that I’m actually parked in front of the tube during the ridiculous air times. Being cooped up all day with no physical activity also starts to mess with my sleep schedule, so I stay up much later than normal. This too, allows for increased motorcycle viewing.

By the time 2010 Supercross kicks off, the bosses will be expecting me back in the office, so I still need to get that damn recording box. But, for the time being, I’m enjoying more TV coverage than ever before. If only it were actually race season and not just reruns… Check out our Motorcycle Racing TV Listings for info on what, when and where.
