[Teehar]

$250 million for 8 games apparently.

Mere chump change!I suppose in the end it saved good old Les some money.That's 8 weeks he doesn't have to pay for CSI wherever,NCIS wherever,and a couple of comedies.

I thought it souded like chump change. The only requirement was that whoever got the bid had to use their A Team announcers. So CBS has to use Nance/Simms. There was some chatter in the NY papers that CBS is overusing the duo as it is with all of the things they are involved in, especially Nance.
