PRE-GAME SHOW KEY: HOOKER-LOOKIN' WOMEN!
Delaware City, DE - A recent study of NFL viewers this past season shows a direct correlation between higher ratings and female reporters who look like hookers from the early ‘80s. “Really Whorish Women have definitely eclipsed Belching Hick Ex-Jocks as a key to ratings success,” said Ben Wong of the Institute For The Study Of Television And Football. “The more leather vests and frosted hair the better.” Wong pointed to Fox’s Jillian Barberie as the pinnacle. “Look at her!” shouted Wong. “I haven’t seen anything that hot since that chick in the J.Geils Band video!” When asked which video, Wong could not remember. “Man, that’s a long time ago,” he said. “Actually, now that I think of it, maybe it was a Poison video. Or Ratt. I think it was a Ratt video.” In a bid to remain competitive, CBS will replace host Jim Nantz with Lara Croft from Tomb Raider. A CBS spokesman said, “She’s already more real than Nantz, and excuse me, have you seen the cans on her? She looks like the chick from that Whitesnake video. No wait, was it a Molly Hatchet video?” ABC will stick with Al Michaels and John Madden.

PATERNO SIGNS PACT WITH DEVIL, WILL COACH 'TIL 2025!
State College, PA - Penn State announced this week that football coach Joe Paterno has just inked a deal with Beelzebub, Ruler Of Hades, that will keep him in the Nittany Lions driver’s seat until the year 2025. “I feel like I could coach til I’m a hundred and fifty,” joked Paterno, “but really, enough is enough. This’ll be it. Then it’s adios.” Earlier this season Paterno chased an official into a stadium tunnel to protest a call, then once in the tunnel allegedly pistol-whipped and robbed the official, receiving a stern reprimand from the Big Ten front office. But Paterno claims the reprimand had “nothing to do” with his plans to retire in 2025.

FEDS SEAL DEAL BETWEEN NHL, WITNESS PROTECTION PROGRAM!
Washington, DC - The United States government has negotiated a deal with the National Hockey League to hide its most notorious informants on the rosters of NHL clubs. “We feel it is by far the safest environment out there,” said FBI agent Buck Sauter. “The ratings for the NHL All Star game were zero? Did YOU watch? No, you didn’t. Zero, I tell you.” An ABC spokesman would not confirm or deny that the ratings for the broadcast were in fact zero, but a check with the Nielsen company showed that its needles didn’t budge. ABC has consistently denied that it offered to pay an audience to watch but failed to garner any interest even among drug addicts. The Feds feel the NHL is so safe that witnesses sent there will actually be allowed to keep their real names.

COLLEGE HOOPS SEASON COULD ELIMINATE AS MANY AS 18 TEAMS!
Indianapolis, IN - The NCAA announced today that when the regular college basketball season concludes in early March as many as eighteen teams will not be eligible for the post-season tourney. “This truly puts value on regular season games,” said an NCAA spokesman. “You have to play your fanny off or you could be one of nine at-large teams eliminated!” Teams already eliminated through conference tie-ins are Northwestern (Big Ten) Vanderbilt (SEC) Washington State (Pac 10) Kansas State (Big Twelve) and West Virginia (Big East). As always, the entire ACC conference will get a bye into the round of 32.
