Talking Heads x12

After our brief discussion about these pitiful studio shows, I got a kick out of counting the broadcast crew on MNF this past week.  They had 5 bozo's in the studio, then they had 3 at the "field desk", plus 3 more in the booth, plus a sideline reporter for good measure.  That's 12 'experts' to tell us about 1 football game.  Totally insane.  I just don't get why the networks think they have to keep hiring more and more of these ex coaches and players to blab about the games.  I would prefer a couple of competent analysts in the booth and a couple to handle pre-game, all of which actually can speak and have something interesting to say.  12 people for 1 game!
