Couch potato alert: Round 2

It slipped my mind yesterday in the item about CN8's plan to televise high school football games in Maryland-Virginia-Washington, D.C. area that there was another local team involved in a telecast in the not-too-distant future.

The telecast of the Francis Scott Key-Thomas Johnson game will air on tape at noon on Sept. 22. And, to set the record straight, the Severn-Archbishop Spalding game that I referenced yesterday will also air on a tape delay Saturday at 7 p.m. So, there you go.

By the way, the show that started this boomlet of high school football games on television, "Two-A-Days,' is picking up stakes and moving from an Alabama high school to one in Louisiana and from MTV, which used to carry music videos, to ESPN, which used to air sports.

The New York Post reported last month that the show, which is renamed "Varsity, Inc.," will shift to West Monroe High and will focus entirely on football and skip over the going into the off-field lives of the players and cheerleaders, as the MTV version did.
