  They're having so much fun! Tony loves Ron, Ron loves Tony, everybody loves Mike and Tony hates himself. Should be quite the show. "More than anything else, I hope it's fun, and Jaws' personality seems to lend itself to fun. As neurotic as I am, as pessimistic as I am, as cynical and subversive as I am, I have fun doing those [games]. Jaws and

He's taking money under false pretenses. He's

  Celebrity interviews. If Tony Kornheiser considers talking about Christian Slater's acting career more interesting than talking about an NFL game that's going on right in front of him, he's entitled to that opinion. But if he has that opinion, he should probably find another line of work. There's good news and bad news on that front from

What a concept! -- and lets Mike Tirico work as a sort of moderator (which is what he does best), but what he brings most to the contest is ... well, he actually knows what he's talking about.
