Now it appears that Major League Baseball is trying to create a Super Bowl like atmosphere for the World Series. I love John Cougar Mellencamp. But all this nonsense and fanfare before, during the halftime show (in the case of the SuperBowl) and after league final sporting events is all a bunch of silliness to me. Does anybody agree with me here? I know they are trying to get "casual fans" to watch more but it turns me off. What was wrong with the entertainment value of the games in the first place?
I wish the networks would give two starting times: (1) the time all the pre-game fanfare begins and (2) the actual starting time of the kickoff, first pitch, tip-off or whatever. I just want to watch the game!

I think most listings will actually give the time of the first pitch, like 8:19 p.m. instead of the 8 p.m. listed on your TV guide. That way, you can choose to watch all the crap or just switch over at game time.
Personally, I hate the fanfare. Thankfully, I live far enough west that I get home from work late enough that I don't have to watch the pregame, but in time to catch the beginning of the game. I don't really know a lot of hardcore fans who enjoy the spectacle and ceremony involved, but I guess it appeals to those watching for the sake of seeing a big event. I'd be happy to see the broadcast come on at 8, and the game start at 8:05.

I AGREE the networks need to post PRE game show from 5:30 to 9:30 and then Actual game STARTING TIME 9:35...........

I like Mellencamp also ,but I'm sick of that song they play ALL the time . Every break in the action you have to listen It gets pretty old real quick
