NHL PASS TO NFL

While I am enjoying the game between the Detroit Red Wings and the Anaheim Mighty Ducks, as I write this, I am unpleasantly reminded of the lousy Hockey Night in Canada theme music that the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) paid for last year. Hopefully, after this season's complement of television broadcasts, the Ceeb will dump the theme and commission a new one. (The first, and new, music was obtained as part of a Canada-wide contest... to write a replacement theme, as composer Doloris Claman's classic signature tune had to be given up.)

Here's an idea: Sell the current tune to one of the broadcasters that carry NFL games. This is the kind of loser theme that a sport like that deserves. Imagine it playing over a quick succession of hyperactive visual cuts showing guys... carrying a football.
