Wouldn’t it be funny if CBS Sports covered the debate instead of CBS News?? Jim Nantz would tell us how wonderful all the candidates are while Phil Simms mouths banalities. We’d have sideline reporters asking the candidates how they felt. There’d be super slo-mo replays of Trump’s hair. There would be challenge flags and Mike Carey who will guess wrong whether the debate point will be overturned. There would be a halftime show featuring Beyotche and some no-name crotch-grabbers. And a postgame in the Green Room with the winning candidate.
The ratings would double.
You’re forgetting the downside. There would be instant replays and long referee huddles.
