    Hope we don't have to endure even more celebrity interviews during games (e.g. the flagrant commercial appearance of Adam Sandler last year). If Fox will keep better focus on the games, I am all in favor of the change. If not, I will turn down the volume on YES and pot up the Master and his sidekick, what's her name.
