A lot of Foxification (and ESPNization) had happened in network football coverage since they last had it, and they did have to put out a zippier product. But they have also found a way to do it while injecting something like intelligence and competence and, for the most part, a real focus on the game. I think they definitely would have found a way to do that for baseball, and an NBC Saturday Game of the Week would no doubt be the best network baseball show on broadcast or cable. -- -- TV or Not TV ....
