I'm with you on the tangential information from the old ESPN Classic games. During Game 6 of the Blazers-Sixers series frrom '77, Musburger keeps breathlessly promising to send us to the Kemper Open as soon as the game ends. He's more excited about the Kemper Open than the deciding game of an NBA Finals. It's unbelievable. But my favorites are the Fox baseball games from the late-'90s, when they would plant the lead actors from their Crappy New Show Du'Jour, then pretend the cameras just happened upon them in the fifth inning, as Joe Buck says, "Hey, look, it's the cast of the new hit Fox drama, 'Firefly!'
