    In a surprise announcement today ABC announced that they would be replacing John Madden on Monday Night Football with the Pope, citing a need for greater youth appeal and a more energetic delivery.

    “Not to complain, but there are problems with playing on the Pope’s baseball team.
    The uniforms, for one.
