Big-time sports just a click away

Sports Editor Terrell Lester

Went through a couple of batteries in the TV remote over the weekend. Blisters began to form on both thumbs.

Tracking the progress of Tiger Woods and the Louisville Cardinals on Saturday was agonizing, surpassed in fervency only by Sunday’s pursuit of Tiger Woods and the Kansas Jayhawks.

It’s tough being a fan.

So many sports. So little time.

The TV remote is one of the great inventions of modern man.

Ranks right there with the Barcalounger.

The next generation of TV remotes, though, should operate on voice command.

Give these thumbs a break.
