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.
