I agree with everyone on the list that thinks both pre and post game 
coverage is much too long.  I visited Baltimore, and one wrinkle they have 
is that one station has an exclusive deal with the Ravens to televise them, 
and they provide both pre and post game TV coverage.  But unfortunately, 
this means that you don't get the second game of the double header if there 
is one no matter how pivotal it might be in a division.  Sports is all made 
for TV today.  Why do you think we have so damn many playoffs with mediocre 
teams that by rights don't belong there, and the Superbowl keeps getting 
moved back to accommodate them?  Next year they are thinking about changing 
to a four game preseason schedule with two by weeks during the season.  It's 
all about TV, suites, corporate sponsorships and corporate boxes all because 
they have let salaries get totally out of hand.
