Comment on But they don't know what baseball is?

  They even had bowling on TV through the 90s, actually. I used to watch it religiously before I was a teenager.

    I haven’t watched broadcast tv in years. Is bowling no longer broadcast? I never paid attention to it so I assumed it was just always there.

      It wouldn’t surprise me if it is still on but I don’t watch TV anymore either. If my memory serves me correctly, I saw an 80s rerun on ESPN about 5 years ago, but for the life of me, I have no idea why I was watching ESPN to begin with. (Nostalgia, maybe?)

        Oh, I didn’t mean ESPN. Remember, back then there were three networks. Bowling was a huge deal to take up that time.

  Are you guys trying to make me feel older than I really am?
