Andy Rooney on Sports and Technology


As Andy Rooney once said, “I don't pick subjects as much as they pick me.” Well, after what seems like 250 years on TV, Andy Rooney is retiring from 60 Minutes this weekend. I was hoping to find a video of his opinion of sports technology. Unfortunately through my research I could only find his take on technology independent of sports and his take on sports somewhat independent of rational.

This week, in honor of one of the most traditionally-minded journalist of our time, I am embedding videos of Andy Rooney’s thoughts on sports and his thoughts on technology. For those who follow me on Kindle, you will unfortunately not be able to see these videos, but I will summarize the content for you. Ref. brainyquote.com

This first video is of Rooney discussing technology, or at least computers. In essence, Rooney does not like how long it takes for computers to start up.



This second video is Rooney’s take on sports, specifically the Super Bowl. Rooney loves football, and also observes that some people eat carrots and some people hate carrots.
