This Is Progress

Dan:

Good news for all of us who are driven nuts each October by the ridiculously late starts to playoff games, and even more ridiculous late endings. Fox has mercifully announced they are starting most games at 7:57 p.m. next October. That's an improvement from recent years, when games wouldn't start till well after 8:30 . . . a ridiculous start time in a sport that prides itself on appealing to kids (true or otherwise) and where regular season evening games begin at 7:05.

Now if Fox would just dump Tim McCarver.
