Allen CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10 telecasts. The network ignores sports' appeal in the first place — tradition and excitement. Putting aside the sack-dancing, crotch-grabbing nuances of 21st century sports, you watch essentially the same games as your grandparents. For a lot of American families, sports are the only common ground of communication, the only conversation family members can share. The pure joy of watching a quarterback ayoid a blitz and complete a third-and long pass is genuine, whether you're 15 years old or 55. You don't need to know if 80 percent « of the country thinks that Torry Holt is a chicken, or a dancing robot to tell you when next week’s games are on. All you need is someone with talent and experience to describe the action to you — someone like Pat Summerall. Allen is a first-year electronic journalism student.
