Yep, I did that.
You mean to say that every ex-jock who talks about football on T.V. is simply a cue card reader? I don't pay much attention to these shows -- I like to watch the games, so this isn't really important to me. And I've never been on the set of a T.V. broadcast but I think someone might dispute your "thesis". It just seems too far-fetched in my opinion.
