Tiki and the Bus

A funny juxtaposition on NBC NFL Tonight, with Tiki Barber sitting across the table from Jerome Bettis. Whereas Tiki left at the top of his game in order to avoid the weekly punishment and preserve his body, for sixteen years the Bus endured sixteen years of pounding and unbelievable weekly rehab routines that enabled to endure fresh whoopings every sunday. Yet despite these differences.... they both end up as studio commentators on NBC. Makes you wonder what it is all for (I bet Tiki has a much easier time getting out of his chair at the end of the show).

On another note, the duo of Bob Costas and Keith Olberman (with sprinklings of Peter King) is now the class of sunday night football shows. Finally NBC gives the criminally underused Costas a chance to do some sports. Goodbye Curt Menefee!
