All Pregame all the Time

It’s a half-hour before the start NBC’s broadcast of Super Bowl XLIII, and the pregame show has already been on for longer than a football game usually lasts (as long as there’s no overtime).

The absurdity of such excess is so self-parodying that the Onion-like headline practically write themselves:

Area man feels cheated after missing first two hours of Super Bowl pre-game show, vows to make the most out of the remaining three

NBC announces new expanded Super Bowl pregame show; broadcast begins when game clock of last conference championship game reaches zero

ESPN launches new all-Super Bowl pregame channel

I was disgusted to see the slobering over Pres. Obama at the pregame show. NBC is out of control. Just a short while ago they were blasting the presidency for all of it's foibles and now they can't do enough to make the presidency seem oh so good.

What does the presidency have to do with the Super Bowl??
