Speaking of focusing elsewhere, there must have been 25 shots of Cowboys owner Jerry Jones up in the owner's box in the fourth quarter of Dallas' remarkable Monday night victory over Buffalo. After all these years, we know what he looks like, ESPN; honest we do, even after the facelift, hair transplants and tummy tuck. It's total overkill and it really should stop.
And speaking of overkill, my Post pals Wilbon and Kornheiser are fabulous on Pardon the Interruption, but they're risking over-exposure for that franchise as well. Thirty minutes every day from 5:30 to 6 p.m. seems just about right. It's not necessary during the ensuing SportsCenter, and definitely way too much at halftime on Monday nights. The only good news with PTI on at intermission? At least it keeps Chris Berman off the air following his fastest three minutes in football segment, otherwise known as Chris's Corny Clich? Corner.

Re: NFL Coverage Has Become Must Mute TV
They didn't show Jerry any more than they showed Danny Boy schmoozing with Tom Cruise up in the box. Besides, Michael Irvin was in the box - wasn't it great!! How bout the emotion at the end - what a win, man.GSPODS wrote:http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/10/AR2007101000823.html

Cowboys 7- Redskins 6 (All we needed was 2 minutes of the 60)
Cowboys 17 - Redskins 0 (Way to NOT show up for the 100th anniversary)
----- TWO EASY -----

Yes, it does touch on the Cowpies. Where in the hell is the Lysol?
But as the article is about muting the coverage, I thought it was self-explanatory that the rest of the football world is sick and tired of hearing about Tony "I haven't accomplished anything but the media thinks I have" Romo and Terrell "I have a comment about everything but no longer perform on the field" Owens.

Again, where in the hell did I put my Lysol? Just mentioning the Cowpies makes me feel a sudden urge to sanitize.
