I heard that the Steelers pre-game show is the only one in the NFL which lasts 5 hours since the TV guys talk very slowly and use monosyllabic words so yinz can understand them.

/Browns-Steelers smack talk is fun even though the Browns get pummeled by the Steelers time after time.

[Joe Mello]

The sarcasm was directed at those who wanted to see Ken Jennings lose again, as if it hasn't been shown everywhere at least 8 times.

I'd try to provide a witty retort but a) I have no love for Pittsburgh's local TV outside of Hometown High Q and 2) Mike's right.

Looks like they are digging in the archives, and running the "DVD" shows. Tonight's show is show 1 from 1984 with brief segments from Alex.

[Joe Mello]

Watched it; recommend others watch, if just for the info bits that start each segment.

Also, in a shrewd bit of companion programming, it seems that WoF will be re-running its Countdown to Ep 5000 week.

I tell you what, I sure got a kick out of seeing the old intro and the board being set up in motion.  Though all the editing made it a bit tough to follow.

Also, I really don't get why there was applause in the edited credits.  I mean, I can fathom a few reasons, but none of them make any sense.

Laziness doesn't make sense to you?

That wasn't one of my reasons, but it makes more sense than anything I had.

That'd be something I'd try to forget.

That's right.  Sit down, Lions fan.

No, laziness would have been filling this week by rerunning a Kids' Week tournament from last season.

Or rendering the on-screen closing credits in the current style, rather than that imitation of the 1984 version.

This was not literally a rerun of a show from 1984, this was a 2009 presentation of a show from 1984.  Hence, the closing theme went with the 2009 presentation, not the 1984 show -- and so it was the modern theme, with canned applause.
