New York – Citing a national population of idiots that actually know who this is…
NBC Universal, better known as the network that carries all of Notre Dame’s home football games, has announced massive cutbacks. The cutbacks will include ditching high-cost, hour long dramas that have any real plot in favor of airing “reality television” shows and gameshows that require brain-dead people to use little or no actual strategy to win. Insiders say NBC executives already lament that Tyrone Willingham is no longer associated with NBC, thus killing huge cross-promotion opportunities.
It’s not entirely clear how this could affect the relationship between Notre Dame and NBC. The contract between the two parties lasts thru the 2010 season. Some fear that the cutbacks could lower the quality of Notre Dame telecasts, including showing a guy’s finger pointing toward the “1st down marker” rather than the ubiquitous “1st Down Line” that so many networks now use in the telecast.
Meanwhile, HerLoyalSons.com has developed a plan that will allow NBC to save some pennies, the focus of which involves reducing the amount of powder on Tom Hammond’s face by 75%, saving the company up to $43 million. Further details will be made public soon.

I, for one, would hate to lose the yellow line. So helpful for one who doesn’t always follow football well. –The wife of another one of Mary’s Loyal Sons.
