Attendance Radio is Lazy Radio

Written By:  Lamont



After all of the juice has been squeezed out of the Texans and JJ Watt, fallback to attendance!

I am shocked that it took me nearly eight years (with HMW) to see it.  You can always tell when it's a slow news day when the whole market is dialed in on "attendance".  In the past, the fallback was

  • Is Schaub Elite
  • What should we do with the Astrodome
  • Vince Young
  • or simple List Radio (they still do this)

Currently, the new fallback topic is Houston Professional Teams Attendance.  It's easy to see and its cheap.   The Houston Rockets have won 65 games.  The Rockets attendance has not been anything special and they still won 65 games therefore I ask, what's the correlation of attendance to winning?  I cannot speak for other teams but the shit the local media push on radio is trash, it's filler.

A part of me wanted to research crowds to wins and losses before I realized, these cats are just lazy and didn't prep and don't have shit to talk about therefore ATTENDANCE.

If attendance in pro sports correlated to success,  Kansas City Chiefs, New York Yankees and St. Louis Cardinals would win every year.

It's a lame argument and the jig is up.  For now on, when you hear attendance, it's a slow news day. . After the Houston Rockets are done,  expect the same lazy shit with the Astros.
