Ferrall Hates the Dead Summer Season in Sports!!

Say, is there anything worse than the summertime?  I mean I know the weather’s great, I know you’re barbequing and I know you’re traveling and vacationing and swimming and having bashes with your friends and going to some baseball games or whatever, and you get to golf and play tennis and you can jog and do all your fancy shit and lay out, whatever you’re into but honest to God, for sports, I mean nobody gets into it.  You can’t get into the baseball ’cause unless you’re like in a town like New York where the Yankees and Mets are playing, even if you don’t like the Yankees and Mets, or it’s a real baseball town like Saint Louis and Chicago.  Los Angeles tries to be with the Angels and Dodgers, obviously the Dodgers carry more leverage.  But, I mean how much baseball can you talk?  You don’t see fans getting off on it.  You don’t see fans calling the Ferrall Show every night and raging about baseball.  I have to fricking give them money to talk baseball, it’s just a dead season.

People don’t get into the U.S. Open.  I did, I loved watching it, I enjoyed Pebble Beach and I loved watching the meltdown by Dustin Johnson in the final round and McDowell’s win, but you don’t see anybody flipping out and talking about it all night.  They talked about it on my show last night for about 45 minutes at best.  I mean I talked about it with Brian Katrek of PGA radio on Sirius XM for a good 45 minutes, but that’s ’cause I get into it.  Nobody gets into Wimbledon.  Roger Federer has a five-set match in his opening match on the all-England grass on day one yesterday and nobody talked about it, nobody cared. The only way people like talking about Cliff Drysdale and his reports are when he’s doing them on the Ferrall Show.  People just don’t get into it and it’s amazing to me.   Then there’s the World Cup and I love it.  There are four games today, there’s been three every single day of the tournament up to this point, and now they’re going to start with these four-a-day matches.  But nobody’s going crazy calling me and talking about it.  There’s great teams, great action, great stars, you know the Cristiano Ronaldos and the Lionel Messis, you know I can’t get enough of it.  I think it’s awesome but people just aren’t into it and you know what are they going to start talking at the end of July?  NFL training camps!  Training camps are boring as shit.  Let me talk about two‑a-day practices and get my rocks off.  It doesn’t cut it for me, neither does pre‑season football and neither do the college practices.  The opening day of college football is that week of September 2^nd, but up until then, nobody wants to talk.  Last night I was given all the Golden Nugget early lines for college football games.  They got the lines out for the first four weeks in the season, the biggest games that are going to be played.  How is it that you put out all those lines and games that are still 2½ months away?  That’s insane to me.

I mean what do you have the rest of the summer?  You have the British Open, you have the PGA Championship, and then in the early fall you have the U.S. Open Tennis.  People just don’t get into any of those.  The British Open’s my favorite and it’s at Saint Andrews this year.  I actually think Tiger’s probably going to win that thing because he’s starting to get hot, but it just doesn’t drive the energy and the passion and the crazy calls that I get on the show when there’s NHL Stanley Cup playoffs, NBA playoffs and certainly nowhere near what we get during the football season.  It’s the summer dead months and they drive me crazy.  Last night we only had three baseball games, what can be worse than that shit.  Only three baseball games and one of them was the Royals and Nationals.  Nobody fucking wants to watch the Nationals unless Stephen Strasburg is pitching.  Then the Yankees take it in the ass from the Diamondbacks.  When is that even feasible?  And don’t remind me of the World Series going way back to 2001 because this Yankee team is ten times better than this crappy Arizona team, and then what do the Diamondbacks do?  They go out and kick A.J. Burnette’s ass last night and jack three home runs in the first inning and they were just all over them.  Then nobody wants to talk about the Reds and A’s even though the Reds are having a good season.  Thank God tonight there are 15 interleague games going on.  We’re live at 8PM East (5PM West) on Howard 101.

Go to ScottBeatstheMan.com for all my World Cup and baseball snags.  We’ve been really hot from Friday to Sunday.  I hit 41 bets in everything baseball, MMA, the Ward fight with Greene, and the World Cup, so I’ve been hot.  Go to the site, 7 days a week, 365 to get all my action.

It was great having Robin Quivers on the show last night talking about her charity event Wednesday night at Caroline’s.  Go to 15foundation.org or on facebook.com/charitybuzz or on Twitter at @Charity Buzz to bid for a chance to go a Mets game with me, Ferrall, this summer at Citi Field.  We’ll go out to a Mets game and rage all day and chug beer and cause trouble.  That’ll be fun.  Don’t forget to keep checking my sites on Facebook and Twitter, facebook.com/scottferrall79 or at Twitter at @ScottFerrall.  Keep checking the sites every day for my updates.  I’m working on the golf tournament for August 27^th and 28^th.  If you want to lose weight, get on the Lean, go click the Nutrition 53 banner on FerrallRadio.com.  It works,  I’m on it so trust me.   I have all my friends on it and everybody loves it.  The shit makes you lose weight, especially in the summer when you don’t want to have that huge gut and look like shit.  If you want to get a custom suit made go to Joseph’s Custom Clothier in Manhattan on Third Avenue and see my boy Joey Wendt or he’ll come to you, measure you and cut you in the nicest suit you ever had in your life.  See you on the show tonight, 8PM East (5PM West) on Howard 101!  Shake It Up!
