Anyone seen the CSN Chicago promo? It is a total ESPN ripoff. They show the SPorts Night anchors reading off the teleprompter talking all sorts of great things about Scottie Pippen, and then you get a pan to ol' Scottie himself in the control room having obviously changed the text in the 'prompter.

Seriously, Comcast, get original. The whole, put the athlete in the newsroom-office-etc..for a funny scene is ESPN's schtick.

I've noticed the same thing myself...Comcast SportsNet is trying to borrow a page from the clever "This is SportsCenter" campaign that ESPN has featured for years. The ones you are referring involve several Bulls & Blackhawks' players interacting with CSN anchors such as Pat Boyle, Chris Boden & Chuck Garfien to name a few. It's not quite in the same class as ESPN...
