Re: For This, CBS Canned Sean McDonough??

["Douglas J. Broda" <djbroda@mindspring.com>]

It's not a crazy deal, IMO. McDonough's biggest strength, IMO, is baseball
(which CBS no longer has); Enberg's got an extensive history doing
basketball and football, and I don't think his skills have that markedly
eroded.

I like McDonough and would have tried to keep him based on his on-air
talents, but this seems a win-win for the viewer (at least those who get
Sox baseball on WFXT... I'll have the DirectTV thing this year for the
first time, but I don't think it includes over-the-air Sox games).
