I don't work for either but last year I witnessed, in person, NBC and their reporter (not Battaglia) as it was a woman in a big hat, going over the drink options available with Grey Goose, who of course was a sponsor.

All one needs to do is look at the bottom of the program for what Battaglia will predict, 90% of the time. Won't it at least be refreshing for an analyst to go past the four favorites?

If NBC was serious about a putting forth a 'quality' program focused on 'the more than casual fan', they'd hire Byk as Producer and start from scratch.
