Unnecessary comment care to explain why you think my comment was unnecessary?.....the original poster made a comment that he never thought he would see live TV coverage of a bass tounry and I posted the reason he is seeing live coverage....

Unnecessary comment He's not wrong, the competiton between the two has built to this.
