Lesson #146 - Sports Broadcasting

Here's an idea for all sports broadcasts in the future - run your broadcast on two channels, the same images on both channels, but on one you keep the analysts you've been working with for years, and on the other where you have nothing but crowd noise. Then check the ratings for each channel - the odds are at least 50/50 that the crowd noise channel will do better. Of course, no sports network will be daring enough to risk something like this, so we're stuck with Tim McCarver, Jon Miller, Joe Morgan, Chip Caray, Troy Aikman, Joe Buck, and just a plethora of other names, almost all of whom could fit into that Venn diagram bubble on the left.

If you're enjoying the sports-related comics but want us to switch back to something more random, well, maybe we'll switch to something different tomorrow. Like Sesame Street or something.
