Exactly. When they have those live in-game consultations with Mike Pereira, he doesn't exactly ooze "broadcast journalist."

Speaking of broadcast journalists, I enjoyed seeing Czarniak on SC the other day. She did a good job, even though it seemed like Coachman was giving her a bit of on-air hazing.
