I know it felt weird last night with the Olympics being over. Suddenly, we all had 3-4 hours of actually having to make a decision as to what to watch on TV. No, reading a book was not an option.

Even Luke Donald found the situation perplexing, noting in this tweet:

@LukeDonald  Missing my usual couple of hours of evening Olympic coverage. Not quite the same watching keeping up with the Kardashians!!!

Apparently, other people felt withdrawal. For some, it got so bad they actually tuned into the Dallas-Oakland preseason game on ESPN.

Incredibly, the telecast did a 3.8 overnight rating, which was higher than the total points scored in the 3-0 game. That translates into 5.4 million people who had nothing better to do than watch something that vaguely resembled football.

From Mr. Twitter:

@darrenrovell  Last night’s Cowboys-Raiders game drew 5.4 million viewers, beating Game 6 of this year’s Stanley Cup Finals (4.9 million)

Really, what’s wrong with you, people? Just because they trot out players wearing NFL uniforms doesn’t mean they are actually NFL players. You’ll never get those three hours back.

As for me, I watched American Triumvirate, the Golf Channel’s fine documentary on Byron Nelson, Sam Snead and Ben Hogan.

Hey, Luke, forget about the Kardashians. You should be watching Hogan, Snead and Nelson.
