A Slant Play

After watching about the fifth replay of a Packers touchdown, my brother, a Steelers fan, had a brilliant idea: there should be two different broadcasts for each game, one geared to fans of each team. The announcers would be blatantly partisan in their commentary, praising one team's performance, tactics, hairstyles, tattoos and off-season conduct while criticizing those of the other. The referee's calls would be subject to scathing remarks -- if the penalty went against the favored team, that is. And the Steelers broadcast would show only Steelers highlights and Packers miscues and bad behavior.
So get to work, Fox Sports! With the current dispute between the NFL owners and players, you may have a very long time to get this off the ground before the next game is played.
