Some Engineer Currently Designing Better ESPN Telestrator Instead Of Surgical Equipment

BRISTOL, CT—Despite the medical field’s growing need for better real-time imaging technology, faster-acting broad-spectrum protein-identification lasers, and portable cancer-marker biosensors, at least one guy who’s more than qualified for the job is currently slapping together a better telestration array for ESPN, sources said Tuesday. “I think we could probably scan the field with point-focused IR sources and get a rough 3-D image of the play in progress,” a man capable of developing equipment that could help surgeons locate difficult-to-find metastatic melanomas said while gazing at a scale model of Chicago’s Soldier Field. “This’ll be a lifesaver to the guys in the booth.” Elsewhere on the ESPN campus, a group of professionals with the analytical and statistical-modeling know-how to make the American manufacturing sector commercially viable again were put to work calculating the Pittsburgh Pirates’ chances of winning the 2012 World Series.
