    I love how we get no Spurs coverage about anything that matters from the Express-News, but we get wall to wall coverage of the coyote's right hand man calling it quits.

    To be fair, the Spurs aren't exactly known for their world-beating offseason moves lately, are they?

    The past few years you could almost use a template to file your reports.

    .....and I thought this was going to be an article about on-court changes.

    How far did you get into the article?

    Does anyone else feel like the entertainment they provide, like the non-stop potato sack races, rings of fire, and kids running full court in size 22 shoes is basically annoying and a waste of time?

    In other words, does anyone decide to go to the games based on whether or not they're going to to get a free shirt shot out of a bazooka?

    These in-game marketing stunts are probably done out of 7th grade peer pressure to keep up with the rest of what the other teams marketing departments are doing. I find it distracting and annoying and a waste of money. But hey, the marketing people have to do something to keep their jobs, right?

    If anything, it's probably a way to give backdoor advertising to their sponsors. As if no one in San Antonio has heard of HEB before.

    Actually, the on-court promotions are a part of huge sponsorship packages. The allure of any sponsorship is to get the company name and logo on as many things as possible to get it in front of as many people as possible. People watching the game at home are seeing a bunch of H-E-B commercials. Since people in the arena aren't seeing those, H-E-B gets in front of them via their on-court promotion.

    A waste of time?
