NFL Pre-Game and Post-Game Shows:The Noticeable Lack of Screaming Is a Bonus

Yesterday I finally had a chance to watch some NFL pregame and postgame shows. I found I was enjoying them more than I had in the past few years and wondered why.



Then it hit me: the talking heads were actually offering analysis and commentary. They weren't yelling at each other like drunks in a sports bar (though I confess I didn't see all the shows, and some -- Terry Bradshaw? -- might still be shouting a bunch).



Here's hoping the media folks and the producers got to all the commentators and told them to calm down and be serious. It is a wonderful change; may this please not be just a temporary phenomenon or, worse, a figment of my imagination.
