Bugg Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Good luck, and make all the money you can, Mike. But it's 2008, not 1973. In the age of the internet, pregame shows are expensive and collosal wastes of cash. Damn if anyone is going to tune in to the pregame show for the brilliant(or imbecilic) stylings of Michael Strahan or Terry Bradshaw. Fox and CBS could run a pregame test pattern and still get ratings once the games start at 1PM. I'm at a loss why they write anyone a big check for such a show; makes no sense.
