The Canine Corner...by Missy MacTavish

Wasn't it a good week? Neither the Dallas Cowboys or the OU team played, so I put that down as a "win."
But I was watching a football game on the Fox Sports Network. Imagine, a network owned by foxes. Do they have a Dog Network? Yes, it's called ABC.
Anyway I digress. They have found a new way to sell advertising during these football games.
They have a first down line in yellow, sponsored by such and such.
Taking this one step further, why not a commercial break for each of the yard markers...
"This play at the 35 yard line is brought to you by PetSmart" for example. As the ball reaches each line they break for a commercial, which will mean that instead of games running four hours, they could run six hours. You may remember that they used to be over in three hours. The NFL games are so long on Sunday's they push the 9 p.m. shows into midnight. 60 Minutes is now 35 minutes.
Well, enough of that. I hope you have a great weekend and may all your friends be dogs....Miss Missy.
