"There Is A Lot Of Money To Be Made In These Sports"

Posted by Bess Levin, Feb 07, 2008, 12:58pm

We're generally amused by the efforts of Fox Business to package anything and everything as a business story ("The Britney Economy!" "The Business of Blow Jobs! More Time Effective Than Using Your Hand = Bigger Profits For You!" and so on and so forth). Like, we laugh at the clips and want to shake these idiots. But today, for the very first time, after watching a segment on Rock-Paper-Scissors, and other "non-traditional" sports like pillow fighting, all I want to do is give someone at that network a hug, for RPS is my all-time favorite game/activity/pastime. I don't even care that the anchor refers to it as a couch potato sport, though I would point out that FBN probably shouldn't knock couch potato sports, since that is the only reason the 6,300-odd people tune in to the network. Kind of the business news equivalent of watching Nascar for the car wrecks, except they happen all the time here.

Does Liz Claman show up at all on FBN? I don't watch it, but might if she were on and tarting it up.

What? I thought FBN had 7,600 viewers. It went down?

Becky Boot Fan........Yes, Liz is on Fox Business M - T 2pm to 4pm with David Asman. You'll get to like it better that what's on CNBC. I know some cities still dont have it.....but, if you can get WOW service (cable) you'll get Fox, Bloomberg and if you must CNBC. Once was a fan of CNBC....NOT ANY MORE.

Liz is on for only 2 hours? my god. what is she doing the rest of the day volumizing her hair?

I don't have TV at work anymore so I didn't even know Liz left CNBC. I've been in lust with her for years, years.

I used to talk about it so much it got my former boss - a guy with red hair - jealous. Finally one time he spotted some other redheaded female on TV - whose hair was a faded, yellowish-orange shade like his - and he told me, "Take a good look at her, so you'll see what REAL red hair looks like. Red hair that comes from a person's genes - not red hair from a bottle like Liz has."
