In Which The YES Network Tries To Convince You To Watch Hornets-Nets Instead Of The Final Four

Hello, ma’am or sir! We understand that you and your friends are planning a “get-together” of sorts to watch the Final Four games tonight, which are slated to begin at 6:07 and 8:47. But hold the phone! Do not pass Go, do not collect $200 (Monopoly joke)! Because tonight, the YES Network is delivering a high-quality broadcast of professional basketball!
Indeed, the New Orleans Hornets are “buzzing” (hornet joke) into Jersey, where they’ll contest the erstwhile Nets at 7:30 P.M.! While it may be true that a Google search for “hornets nets” pulls up results for “hornets nest,” keep in mind that you can’t spell “Hornets” without “Nets”! Take from that what you will!
We are hardly one to begrudge your prerogative to watch a gaggle of twig-armed teen-agers bumble about a basketball court, but know this: tonight’s N.B.A. match-up is rife with talent of premium quality. Chris Paul, to take one example, is one of the finest talents on this pale blue dot! Keyon Dooling, to take another example, is a person who exists!
It is with a hearty disposition that we exhort you to “tune in” (television joke) to the YES Network tonight at 7:30, the 19.5th hour of our Lord, to watch an expert display of hoops-man-ship.
Sincerest regards,
John Yes
CEO, YES Network
Forward/center, New Jersey Nets
