Trade: Al Michaels for Bunny and Cartoon to be named later

I saw that and couldn't stop laughing!!

That's why I was a little discouraged by this line:

In the deadly serious business of sports, a cartoon character from 1927 played a role in Al Michaels' hop from Monday Night Football to NBC.

The business of sports should never be "deadly serious" and I don't doubt for a second that those ESPN people think that it is. It's a game and this story is silly, at best. If anything, it should just show that it's not serious at all. Believe me, I work with enough Steelers fans that some people think that sports are deadly serious. Now I love baseball more than anything, it's practically an extention of my personality. But I've never punched a hole in a wall or screamed bloody murder because the Mets had ANOTHER losing season. I just hold out hope for next year and shake my head at guys like this:
