this is such an absurd narrative. an election is not a soap opera, it is a time to discuss serious issues. and, we're frankly better off if the nature of the election turns the sports fans off. sorry: if you need a salacious story to get you out, you're not informed.

hey, it's not long before the puck drops.

this is really moaning by the media that they don't have the type of story that they want.

here's an idea: cover the issues.
