Some make MILLIONS a year ..... at least they mainly wear neckties..

Why does it take five (05) EXPERTS to explain what happened during a football game? And, that is just one channel. They had all these EXPERTS in th press box to explain during the game, and those INSTANT REPLAYS, over and over and over, and that camera flying all over the stadium, and all those cameras on the sidelines, everywhere. I guess they all have to explain what we missed during all those commercials and those replays we saw, time after time after time.

There are few football games anymore, some small colleges and high schools, and not even all of them. They are now "television shows" and commercials, occasionally interrupted by some guys in very colorful uniforms, running around and counting thier money.

New game on, Dallas and Green Bay, two EXPERTS tell us how the game is going to unfold, now, some little girl, telling us what is going to happen, she does the "sideline color." OK, the guy on the field lowered his hand and the game is on. Was he an official, no, a member of the TV staff, he tells them when to play. I wonder what those five EXPERTS back in that warm studio are doing now. They are probably in MAKEUP, hoping that they can take many, many years off of those aging faces, and getting those hair pieces looking natural.

"Oh, look, that lineman has a very small scar on his chin." Is that good camera work, or not?
