I don't know. The endless blather of, minimally, three analysts, color guys, etc. is driving me to distraction. Throw in the pretty blond roaming the sidelines for the odd timely human interest angle and it seems that the games themselves have become secondary.

Think I'm overreacting?. Do yourself a favor and checkout the occassional replay of a game from the '70s or '80s on ESPN classic and drink in the momentary lapses of silence and the actual relevance to the action on the field of the commentary. It complements the action and is so much mor a "...just the facts, ma'am..." style of delivery instead of the endless filibuster of speculation, pointless anecdotes and general narcissism that rides herd on us now.

Thanks, I feel a little better now.
