Our boy Norman

Norman Chad, who once did the Daily News NFL pick' em column long, long ago -- way back in the 1990s, we think -- continues a weekly column that he syndicates to several newspapers across the country, when he's not busy doing commentary for ESPN's World Series of Poker.
For some reason, his columns do not appear in the Daily News. It's a crime. But we're working on it from our end.
His "Couch Slouch" column that landed today (linked here) deals with "23 (more) facts, tried and true, about the widening world of sports television".
Among them:
== One day, I believe, ESPN will colonize Antarctica.
== If the marketplace drives America, how is there not a women's beach volleyball network?
== I watch the NFL Network more than I should, particularly on Mondays. It beats "Ellen."
== A friend of mine who is in prison will work a double shift of laundry detail before he'll watch "The Best Damn Sports Show Period."
== Sarah Palin is a "hockey mom." That locks up the Versus vote.
