Movies & More

Show everything, ABC!

I'm watching the Oregon/Oregon State football game -- "Rudy," there's the movie reference for this movie-themed blog -- and I am getting progressively miffed at the ABC producers who, whenever anything remotely smacks of post-play fighting, switch away to some stupid stands shot.

Oh, please. We're adults here, and you can't understand what is going on in the game unless you see all of it! If someone throws a cheap shot -- and Oregon, one of my alma maters, is famous for it (remember last year's game with Boise State?) -- then we need to see it.

This game is getting rough. Let's see all of it.
