My answer: We want to watch the incredible happen. Yesterday, incredible happened when Mark Buehrle tossed a perfect game.

So naturally, the 8 a.m. pacific Sportscenter finally showed the White Sox highlights 20 minutes later — after complete nothing new at all from the Favre and Vick stories (not to mention a complete waste of time covering the preseason All-SEC awards).

Why would anyone get interested in sports today if the first 20 minutes of Sportscenter is about, well, nothing?
