Hello, sports fans. Thanks for dropping by. I hope your 2012 has started on the right foot. On today's episode of 'Sports Nuts', Devore and Rogers discuss Stanford vs. OSU, Oregon's uniforms, NFL Wild Card, NFL MVP and OKC Thunder's hot start. Check it out!
After a semi-vacation break, Sports Nuts is back! On tonight's show, Devo and Rog discuss the latest sports news, CP3 heading to the Clippers, Braun testing positive, Dallas losing with a 12-point lead, Colt McCoy and his concussion, the latest coaching carousel, Barry Bonds on probation and much, much more. So, sit back, relax and enjoy the show.
Today's episode was split-up into 3 parts, so do enjoy as we talk about NFL, Eli Manning being a baby, MLB awards the best pitchers and some BassMasters. Enjoy!
The NBA can be saved! Yes, you heard me. The NBA can be saved by shutting down the WNBA.
Now, before you call me a sexist, I have numbers and stats that will back up my claims.
The NBA averages about 1.6 million viewers, which is the highest the NBA, or anyone for that fact, has seen. The WNBA has seen some improvements, but they give away most of their tickets because they are unable to sell tickets before the actual game. Who wouldn’t pass up on free tickets to the WNBA? Oh, wait…
The WNBA is a joke. A lot of sports writers and sports fans would agree with me on that. There are several people who would disagree with me, but the world wouldn’t be that great if everyone agreed on everything, so to each their own.
Now, the NBA is going through a lot of hardships (I hope you sensed the sarcasm. If not, I feel sorry for you). NBA Commissioner, David Stern, asked for “bailout” money back in 2009 and he was granted $200 million dollars from JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America. But, compared to the WNBA, the NBA is more entertaining. Who wants to watch a two-hour game of basketball with nothing but layups, jump shots and passing.
Compared to the WNBA’s attendance in 2011, the NBA’s attendance in 2011 was staggering. The top 5 teams were:
TEAMS
YEAR TOTAL
AVERAGE ATTENDANCE
BULLS
893,462
21,791
Trail Blazers
840,924
20,510
Cavaliers
824,595
20,112
Mavs
824,162
20,101
Heat
810,930
19,778
Below is the list of WNBA attendance for 2011:
TEAMS

If you expect 18 to 32-year old's to sit down to watch a WNBA game, think again. David Stern is better off cutting his loses and focusing on the NBA.
