(This is why CBS went with Katie Couric rather than Eric Dickerson...
The NBC Sunday Night Crew Is Trying To Control Your Mind
You might think you want to watch the NFL on Sunday nights because it's often the best game of the week, or because you're related to one of the broadcasters, which, let's face it, as many as there are, is pretty likely.
