Let the Rants Begin Dennis Miller is such a crazy, inspired long shot that producer Don Ohlmeyer must have titanium marbles. It's a little like hiring Lenny Bruce to emcee your parents' 75th-wedding-anniversary party. Could be fun. Could be the worst television disaster since She's the Sheriff. |

Super Sunday night game topped MNF Yeah, I know, I seem to be on a rip-the-Monday-night-crew kick. But here's the thing that capsuled it for me: At halftime, all we heard was how "entertaining" the game was. I didn't hear that word used one time on Sunday night, when some real football was played. |

MNF 2000 should schtick to basics In his defense, Dennis Miller seems like a nice guy, and he did a good job memorizing little snappers from the press books and probably conversations with the teams' p.r. staffs as well. Is this really football knowledge, or just a student cramming for an exam? |
