1- Terry Gilliam cutouts of Howard Cosell and Jim McKay—with horizontal-movement-only pupils, vertical-movement-only jaws, and their respective AI-synthesized voices call the games, live, with four minute latency, over endless loop of agony-of-defeat trombone flourish.

2- Cupertino bid 4x Netflix, but NFL balked at tech giant’s insistence that Santa-suited Eddie Cue air gun-blast holiday fruitcake sampler into the stands at halftime.

@weldon I'd pay a zillion dollars to watch that broadcast. My god we'd need a Gilliam-cutout Don Meredith and Frank Gifford too though.
