David Kronke was appointed Mayor of Television after a bloodless coup in 2000. Since then, he has improved infrastructure, championed greater educational opportunities and fought for reforms that have utterly erased corruption and incompetence from the television industry. Since Mr. Kronke has ascended to power, Television is a far better place. Pink? Really?
NBC's "Sunday Night Football" began with a ripoff of ABC's, and now ESPN's, "Monday Night Football," which has employed Hank Williams, Jr.'s swagger for the broadcast's kickoff. Except, um, they recruited Pink for the opening number, singing over a cityscape of adoring fans taking to the streets -- apparently, they'd rather see her than the football game. Not that pop stars really tend to care about this sort of thing anymore, but Pink -- the first name that comes to my mind when it comes to bone-crunching football action -- kind of flushed her tough-gal indie cred to shill for NBC's glitzathon.
Other people who'd be great to open "Sunday Night Football:" Leonard Cohen. Louis Andriessen. The Tiger Lillies. Joni Mitchell. David Helfgott. Bright Eyes. One Ring Zero. Kenny G. The Wingdale Community Singers.
Enough of that: Onto Manning v. Manning.

Let's not forget the Up With People people. They'd be GREAT to open up a football game!
