The Couch Slouch

One of my favorite reads each Monday morning in the Post-Gazette is Norman Chad's "Couch Slouch" column.  In today's column he lists "23 facts, tried and true, about the widening world of sports television".  I won't list them all, but here are a couple of my favorites.....

• Just saw previously unseen home video in which Skip Bayless, at age 8, is berating a school crosswalk guard for "choking."
• "Mike Mayock: Conversations with Myself" debuts on the NFL Network on January 2.
• True story: Stephen A. Smith once was kicked out of Sunday church services for sermonizing during the preachers' sermon.
• I have no doubt that Mike Mayock knows what he's talking about.  The problem is the rest of us don't.
• Curious fact: Thomas Jefferson was both pro-slavery and anti-replay.

Check out the rest of the 23 facts on page D-12 of today's PG.
