Kerkorian...
...sort of thing—except that cable channel has recently taken to showing bad sports movies during times when one should be able to sit down and expect game action. There are few things more deflating than sitting down to watch something of the dramatic quality of the Kirk Gibson game, only to be met with something like The Garbage-Picking, Field Goal-Kicking Philadelphia Phenomenon.
