NBC had the best studio show for the first season, and then chipped and tinkered with it so much (angry Olbermann editorials, ersatz 1997 Sportscenter, Tiki Barber off in a glassed-in room away from the grown-ups) until somehow we were left with Dan Patrick, Tony Dungy, and Rodney Harrison stringing together useless thoughts and Bob Costas giving impassioned editorials while hoping the wind won't blow his rug off.
