CBS’s NFL Team Scores!

I hope you saw CBS’s Postgame “reporting” on the Denver-Pittsburgh NFL overtime-game Sunday night.

If you missed it, the usually light-hearted, cliche’ ridden team of five former stars reported on the ending of the shortest overtime in NFL history (11 seconds) without saying a word: they took “Tebowing” to new heights. I have posted a screen shot and a brief commentary at http://eduactionnow.blogspot.com/

It may not have been a classic moment in sports journalism, but it was close. The entire Tebow phenomenon has worked its way into practically every NFL story these days, but as unique as the Tebow topic is, until now the reporting has been business as usual. Not only CBS, but ESPN, Fox Sports, Yahoo Sports, SI, you name it, have been somewhat pedestrian in reporting on any aspect of Timmy Terrific (thanks to Denver Post’s Woody Paige who has his moments).

Enter the CBS team: amazingly articulate without saying a word!
