Warning: This is a recurring complaint

I've got to admit there have been some moments over the last couple of months where I really missed doing the show. (For those who don't know, some programming changes at WKCT removed the 5 p.m. sports programs, including The Right Call and the Friday Night Sports Page which I co-hosted).

With that said, there are certainly going to be moments this summer, which can be painstakingly slow on the local scene, where I don't.

I really missed talking about the Kentucky Derby with Steve because he is so passionate about it, and because the Thursday before was one of our favorite shows when people would just call in and take a horse (or a number) and discuss the derby.

It would have been nice to talk about Greenwood's state championship repeat and what an amazing story that was.

There were some great basketball games in March that I missed talking about. From the drama of Greenwood's Fourth Region Championship to Kansas' comeback in the national championship game. Oh, and Ty's shot to beat Drake and the Hilltoppers subsequent run to the Sweet 16.

So there's been a lot of stuff that I feel I've missed.

But nothing compares to the feeling I got this morning. And since I don't have the airwaves at my disposal, I'll use this outlet.

If you were a regular or not-so-regular listener to the show (as long as you listened during the end of June), then you've heard this one before.

I'm a tennis junkie. I have been since I was around 10. I still play pretty competitively and even got into coaching this spring. The eight weeks of the majors are like Christmas.

Instead of maybe seeing the semifinals or championship of a tournament, I can watch five or six hours of coverage. The fact that it is Wimbledon makes it even a bigger deal for me. Other than the fact that I've actually been there (and had to sit in a line at 2 a.m. to get tickets), Wimbledon is just special.

So I've really enjoyed the first week of the tournament, except for the fact that no American men or Maria Sharapova are left.

Then comes the weekend. I woke up this morning around 8:00 and, just like I have for the previous five days, watched some of ESPN2's coverage of Wimbledon. I watched Jankovic win in a third set despite hyperextending her knee. I watch Tipserovic follow-up his win over Roddick by advancing in four sets.

Then came 11:00. Time for NBC (who only covers the event on the weekends and the Monday of the second week) to take over. And when I say take over, I mean in the sense of holding us hostage -- hostage from watching a live match.

As Safina and Paer move into a third set (the match ESPN2 was showing), NBC takes the air and shows us Venus Williams match-- from FOUR hours earlier.

I get that you want to showcase the stars. It's all about ratings, all about money, etc. You mean to tell me that NBC can't use their weight to have Venus play the third match (which is currently a men's doubles mat) on Court 1 instead of the first and ensure that they get to show her match live at 11?

This isn't an isolated case. It happens every year. And it will get really bad on Monday. Why? Because NBC's coverage begins at 10:00 in all time zones. This is done so that the Today show can be seen in its entirety.

At 10:00 Eastern, NBC's live coverage will begin. They'll actually show the matches as they are happening. An hour later, at 10:00 Central, our coverage begins. Does NBC show the matches pick up the matches where they are? No, they show us what happened an hour ago, at 10:00 Eastern.

So you can literally go on the internet, find out what happens in a set, and then watch it happen before your eyes. Use this information to win bets with your friends.

In this day and age of instant access to everything, from streaming internet to mobile access, it just doesn't make sense to not show things as they occur when you have the capability.

So, until next year, enjoy the drama -- even if it unfolded a little earlier today.
