I've just got off the phone to a soothsayer friend (mainly about the Cocu sacking) who added as a coda to the conversation 'sport's been a dead loss all year'. I completely disagree. OK Derby have been a disaster (and I don't watch much footy other than Derby) and there could never be another summer of cricket like 2019, but I'm having a ball sport-wise. What cricket there was was still damned good entertainment, my ditching of Lewis Hamilton support due to his politicising has actually brightened my F1 as I've focussed on the midfield teams, touring cars have been great, my NFL team the Buffalo Bills are on a roll (and the BBC highlights show is the best show on telly IMO) and the road cycling has been absorbing, the end of the Vuelta Espana was as nailbiting as anything I've seen. And there's been more (most of which I watched recorded or as highlightslate evening). How's it been for you? Has TV sport in any way been a decent sub for live?
