Posted By: <b>Lee Behrens</b><p>Let's see a football game, rap singer, and a shark. They are all tied into vintage baseball cards. When I figure out how they are I will be sure to let you all know.<br /><br />Lee

Posted By: <b>DJ</b><p>Agreed.<br /><br />For those of you out of the know, "jumping the shark" means that the program (or station in this case) has finally hit a point where it's suddenly on decline. It is usually tied in to a sitcom, a desparate plea for higher ratings (a wedding, a child is born, celebri) or a point of no return when a character is replaced. Of if Ted McGinley suddenly appears on your show. This was named after the episode of Happy Days when Fonzie jumped the shark.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.jumptheshark.com/" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.jumptheshark.com/</a><br /><br />DJ

Posted By: <b>Cat</b><p>That writer (can't remember his name) they have as the third anouoncer is pathetic. This is by far the most miserable group that MNF has ever had. They can make a good game hard to watch.<br /><br />Edited to say: I too was wondering how that video promotion fit in...trying to fit in with a younger demographic...half of all beer is consumed by males 28 and younger (that data is a little old so perhaps the numbers are higher). Beer ads used to be the key to MNF commercial sales.<br /><br />________________<br /><br /><a href="http://www.audiocomedy.net/soundboards/jacket.shtml" target="_new" rel="nofollow"><a href="http://www.audiocomedy.net/soundboards/jacket.shtml</a" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.audiocomedy.net/soundboards/jacket.shtml</a</a>>

Posted By: <b>David Smith</b><p>Tony Kornheiser (? spelling). I really liked the three announcers that used to be on Sunday Night Football on ESPN. Even if the game was boring, those three were entertaining.<br /><br />I can barely stand these three and I now pass on the halftime show, especially Chris (J-E-T-S. JETS! JETS! JETS!) Berman.

Posted By: <b>Frank Wakefield</b><p>Well this finally made a tenuous connection to baseball.<br /><br />A few times I've quit watching a baseball game on TV, just so I didn't have to listen to Berman's banter. Years ago it was a bit amusing. It is antiquated now. I hate it. I figure the only reason he's on there is because he had bunches of ESPN stock back before ABC/Disney acquired the business, and now he's in there on some sort of sweetheart "noncompete" deal. I think ESPN/ABC/Disney would be money and ratings points ahead if they released Berman and let the competion have him (as if they would).<br /><br />That has nothing to do with vintage cards, a bit to do with baseball...

Posted By: <b>davidcycleback</b><p>The problem isn't so much that Berman's nicknames are strained, but he uses the same ones for years. Arami 'Well Dressed' Toomer: that certainly didn't get old the 245th time he used it. Even Benny Hill came up with a new joke once every three years (Reporter: "I hear that some of your actors have small peccadillos." Benny Hill: "I wouldn't know about that. We don't share dressing rooms.")
