19. Kenny Mayne's "Mayne Event" comedy segment on ESPN now consists of his hilarious outtakes from auto insurance commercials
18. Frank Caliendo's pre-game game predictions are now done with a dartboard, blindfold and drum roll while chuckling in the laughs of his various characters

16. Keith Olbermann's "Worst Person in the NFL" segment changed to "Worst Person in the Technical Crew"

14. Shannon Sharpe now erudite, humble, and with perfect grammar
13. Chris Mortensen just recycling rumors from earlier in the year, and changing the name of "Michael Vick" to some practice squad guys that no one has heard of
12. Dan Marino's cold, dead glare at the empty teleprompter will haunt your dreams and become an instant YouTube classic
