No Comment Necessary: USA TV Sports Network Programming during the EC Final

Through the Ice for Monster Pike. Really? Really!

In most European nations there is a Euronews channel that continuously updates and repeats every 30 minutes.  (It’s kind of like CNN’s Headline News, before CNN decided to change it into HLN.)  The last segment is a sometimes quirky 3 minute story devoid of voice over appropriately entitled “No Comment“.  Usually, there’s no comment, because, well because commentary would be superfluous.
In the spirit of “No Comment” I present to you the TV viewing options on all of the major nationwide Sports Channels in the U.S. this past Sunday morning at while the Men’s European Handball Championship Final was being played in Serbia.
