Did you guys catch this?

Busy week, but did you guys catch this?

MSNBC has relieved Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews of election hosting duties. It seems the suits at NBC finally watched the circus going on at their cable outlet. How else could you explain why NBC allowed the bias to creep into both convention telecasts? Somehow, Keith got the news/commentary thing separated. During a brief moment on camera, Brokaw looked a tad embarassed.

Anybody catch the infomercial on the CBS Halftime show Sunday? OMG. I tuned in expecting to hear the latest on Tom Brady's injury...instead I got Randy Moss in a kitchen plugging something called CBS Scene--a new theme restaurant. Wow. How did we get here? I expected more from CBS--the network of Murrow. I expect this stuff from FOX.

Now that the Aaron Rodgers saga is over...Can we go back to our lives? My word. With ESPN leading the back, naturally. While we're on the topic..what have they done with MNF anyway? It's barely recognizable. Why do I get the suspicion that if they got a Porsche, the producers would trick it into a ride with "he got jacked up" emblazoned on each side?

Still having a hard time getting used to Mike without the Maddog. Here's a little nitpick: Is the name of the show "Miked Up?" Or is it "Francesa on the Fan?" Both are used interchangeably. And let me say this: That opening jingle will never be confused with radio gold. Can we get Chernoff to go back into the studio and rework? It's old Mike and the Maddog jingle with minor modifcations "He's going at it as hard as he can, it's Mike Francesa on the Fan" That's akin to showing up to a party with the new girlfriend; only she looks exactly like the old girlfriend. Creepy.

The Yankees now sit in fourth place in the division after a 12-1 pasting at the hands of the Angels. But yesterday, the baby boss said Girardi will return next year. Unreal.

How great would it be if Torre's Dodgers made the playoffs and the Yankees didn't? Could happen.
