Once Again...Genius

For sports broadcasts, the Play-by-Play Announcer and the Color Commentator should be from opposite teams

Here you go again with all of your...wait...this actually sounds like a really good idea.  

For those of you who are unaware, sporting broadcasts are usually done by two people, one known as the "Play-by-Play" announcer, and the other the "Color Commentator."  I legitimately had to explain this concept once to a guy who got offended and thought I was racist for my use of the term "Color Commentator."  

In today's sports broadcasting world, all games for every sport ever are shown on TV somewhere.  For the major sports, each team will usually bring its entire broadcasting crew for every game, home and away.  While this leads to a feeling of familiarity with certain voices and people sharing your game with you, it can lead to some bias.  

Announcers who blatantly support the home team rather than even attempting to show neutrality during the broadcast are known as "Homers."  Some of the worst offenders (Though this is by no means a complete list) are Ken "Hawk" Harrelson, he of the "You gotta be bleepin' me." when the White Sox (Who he often refers to as "Us" or "We") commit a game-tying error on the games final out, Jack Edwards who compared a Boston Bruins win to The Revolutionary War, and Pittsburgh Penguins announcer Paul "Steggy" Steigerwald, for whom the rest of the NHL doesn't belong on the same sheet of ice as anyone on the Penguins.   Another common technique is that used by Michael Kay of the New York Yankees, in which he finds a fault with anyone on the opposing team, such as an imperfection in their batting stance, or their pitch location, or something along those lines, then spends the next 5 minutes of the broadcast explaining how the equivalent Yankee can do it better, and for only 5x the salary.   

Homers suck.  Even if you support the same team that they so obviously do, they can make a game almost entirely unwatchable due to the bias in what they have to say about the game.  Fortunately, I have a solution!

Now that every game is broadcast by both cities' home stations, and all of the teams' representative commentators are present, simply split them up.  For a purely hypothetical game between Peoria and Kalamazoo, have the Kalamazoo Play by Play announcer call the game with color commentary from Peoria's voice and show that on the Kalamazoo stations.  Peoria viewers can watch Peoria's PbP with Kalamzoo's Color.  

Broadcast bias may not be a thing of the past, but at least we can have a little fun with it.  Any blatant homerism can be immediately called out and/or counteracted by the other announcer showing the other side of the coin.  Imagine one announcer complaining about a call that went one team's way, and instead of having the leeway to go on about it, have somebody else there arguing the other side.  There can be fights on the field/ice and in the broadcast booth.  People can call each other names and point out their obvious homer tendencies in real time.  I don't see how this can do anything other than increase the level of excitement of a sporting broadcast.  Get on that, TV!
