    filler junk for all the many many channels the satellite companies broadcast. that is why advertorials and preach get time so cheap. more channels than they can fill with anything worth a damn. so everybody and his brother are holding a bowl game. forgetaboutit. maybe the rose bowl. maybe the orange bowl. the rest i will flip off.
