I have done some good things and some bad in my 72 months on the sports media beat. One of the bad is writing way too much about TV ratings, a subject most sports fans don't understand - and don't much care about.

But what can I say? I'm addicted. Speaking of which . . . RIP, A.C. Nielsen, Jr. Even though I blame you for my problem.
