How do people continue to watch Bill O'Reilly?

I definitely describe myself as a moderate when asked generally about my political leanings, but I will confess to being a registered Republican and conservative on some issues. I will save the breakdown of my political beliefs for another day, but I think it is important to establish that I am not in agreement with Congressman Barney Frank on most issues prior to commenting on his "interview" with Bill O'Reilly last week. I place interview in quotes because the technical term for what took place would be an interview, but it seems Bill O'Reilly doesn't conduct proper interviews any longer. No, O'Reilly now only schedules sessions with newsworthy individuals where he will force these individuals to sit and endure his screaming explanation of why they are complete morons without providing so much as a half-way fair chance at defending themselves.

I myself basically stopped watching O'Reilly's rants years ago and couldn't stand to watch at all after his seemingly forgotten sex scandal that was quietly ended after O'Reilly paid the plaintiff $10 million when he discovered she had audio tapes to prove her claims. I don't think I have witnessed a more self-righteous, pompous individual in my life and definitely not one of this degree on television that has lasted any notable length of time. For those millions of viewers who somehow still manage to stomach this nightly O'Reilly ranting monologue, my one question for you is - How?

ESPN Gameday to be in Nashville, TN on Saturday

ESPN has announced that its College Gameday program will be based in Nashville this weekend to feature the SEC matchup of #13 Auburn (3-1) at #19 Vanderbilt (4-0). This exciting news for an Auburn fan since this will be the 2nd weekend out of 6 that Auburn has played in the featured game, but it will also mark the 4th week out of 6 that a team from Alabama has played in the featured game. Alabama was featured in its 1st game of the year against Clemson and then again this past weekend when they traveled to Georgia.
