Hilarious “interview” with the SportsDome anchors in this week’s Sports Illustrated. Choice excerpt: What do you see as the role of the sports media in the bigger picture? SHEPARD: Sports are inherently dramatic and exciting, so it would be easy for us to just get out of the way and let the games tell the story, but we know that’s not what people want. They watch sports on TV because they like hearing people like us do our catchphrases and name-drop bands that we like. REISER: Yeah, but we totally respect what you do at Sports Illustrated, using full sentences and stuff. It’s hard enough to make Jay Cutler seem interesting using flashy graphics and music. So, you know, kudos.
