Best Idea Ever

“Excuse me, could I have everyone’s attention please? I have an urgent and breaking news update…ANNOUNCER SWAP!!!!”

How excited is everyone for this!!?? I can’t believe that ESPN did not think of this idea before now; it’s absolutely brilliant. Dan Schulman and Dick Vitale will take the Heat/Nuggets game at 9, while Mike Tirico, Jeff Van Gundy, and Mark Jackson will call Davidson at Duke (7 pm). This is probably the single greatest idea that ESPN has ever had (aside from the SportsCenter commercial with Adrian Peterson) and it’s hard to say why it took this long for them to realize how great this would be. Then again, it’s one of those things that seems so simple but nobody realizes it; I mean I never would have thought of it. For all you fans (all 3 of you) of Wife Swap, this is going to put that to shame just for having a similar name. This is sheer broadcast media gold, and I am privileged to witness it. Expect Jeff Van Gundy to rigorously heckle Stephen Curry’s poor excuse for teammates throughout the game, as well as plenty of the fans, and probably some of the Duke players; really no one is safe. Titillating. Also, you will witness Dickie V pee his pants over D-Wade once again; it’s only a shame that ‘Melo had to get injured otherwise it would have been one hell of a reunion. Superb-ia.

Back to the Wife Swap reference; I wouldn’t be surprised if ABC developed this idea into a weekly television show to take the place of Wife Swap. Imagine every Friday night at 8, you turn on your TV to tune into one of the following: Al Michaels and John Madden calling a Sox-Yanks game; Keith Jackson screaming “Whoa, Nelly!” as he covers the World’s Strongest Man; Sean McDonough, Jay Bilas, and Bill Raftery giving superior insight to the World Figure Skating Championships; Gus Johnson saying how awesome every player on the field is during a BCS bowl game; Joe Buck and Troy Aikman giving commentary for an NHL game…oooh, disregard that last one, I may have gone a little too far. But seriously, that would such an awesome idea and would make for the best Friday nights ABC has seen since the TGIF days with Boy Meets World. I know that I would never have another Friday night with nothing to do. Your welcome ABC, I’ll take my payment in cash. For one thing, I know that it would keep my mind off the Celtics. God help us. Or the new ESPN. com format. Anyone else out there not a fan?

*Note: These last few weeks have been rough for various personal reasons (not gonna lie, one of those being laziness). But that doesn’t matter, what I’m trying to say is that posts are going to start coming at you rapid fire, with All-Americans predictions, conference winner predictions, and stuff like that. So be ready! Out.
