<<< On his new show called "Full Tilt," CNN/SI's Trev Alberts had this take on Lesley
Visser's job with Westwood One/CBS Radio's Monday Night Football broadcast:

"I think Lesley Visser is fantastic on the sidelines and maybe even play-by-play,"
Alberts said. "But analysis? She has never played! She says that she is
qualified because she's been observing for 25 years. If I observed a surgeon for
25 years, would you let me operate on you? I don't think so."

Alberts' CNN colleague Larry King was booked as the guest analyst for
Monday's Steelers-Titans broadcast but backed out of the appearance. It is
believed Alberts had nothing to do with that decision.

"I love Larry King, but it's a sad thing when networks feel compelled to hire a
Dennis Miller or Larry King," Alberts said. "As athletes, we've done a terrible job
protecting our turf." >>>
