Off Wing Opinion

Just got a short note from my father I thought I'd share. Just as a reference point, he works for a company that sells closed captioning equipment:

One of the biggest advantages of Closed Captions is that you can mute the TV program and still follow the dialogue. Am watching Wimbledon, gratefully you can turn off the stupid grunts and screams coming from the two players and still get the commentators' comments. It sounds like a bad wrestling match between two wounded animals -- Williams and Sharapova.

Here's an technological advance I'm looking for: selective muting for sporting events. Hit the button, Tim McCarver's voice disappears, and all you hear are the stylings of Joe Buck. I think there would be a market for that.

UPDATE: Venus Williams wins. She'll get either Lindsay Davenport or Amelie Mauresmo in the final.
