Who would be better to talk about the pressure of the NFL Draft than perhaps the biggest bust in league history?

NFL Network – which for the first time will provide counter-coverage to ESPN’s presentation on April 29 – is interested in having Ryan Leaf, the 1998 No. 2 pick as part of its draft show, an NFL Network spokesman confirmed.

Last month, Leaf accepted a job to be the quarterback coach for West Texas A&M University. Leaf would likely be part of a round-table of players on the show.

“We think he would offer a unique perspective,” an NFL Network spokesman said.

Peter Gammons will not be in the booth for ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball this year, but he will be joining Jon Miller and Joe Morgan and reporter Sam Ryan on the broadcasts.

“Gammons is not going to be in the booth with Jon and Joe,” ESPN executive VP Norby Williamson said. “We decided to put him in what we call a ‘scout position,’ which could be a position in the stands.”

In a newspaper ad last week, ESPN-1050’s Michael Kay was depicted by the station’s marketing department with a Yankee cap on his head. Kay, who already has to deal with the perception that he is pro-Yankee by virtue of being the voice of the team on YES, was blind-sided.

“I was unaware of it and I’m not thrilled about it,” Kay said.

Mike Thompson, 1050’s program director, said Kay “probably shouldn’t have had a Yankee hat on” in the ad.

After CBS spoke with ESPN’s Dick Vitale about doing an NCAA game, we wondered how CBS lead analyst Billy Packer – who has expressed his differences with Vitale in the past – looked at the possible move.

Packer claimed it was a “non-factor.”

If you have a modem, you might not be able to bellyache about how CBS switches games during the NCAA Tournament.

CBS Sportsline.com – along with CSTV.com and NCAA.com – will make all out-of-market games available on the web. The key is to sign up early to get VIP status, because space may be limited.

If that doesn’t do it for you, DirecTV will have it all on TV for a little less than 60 bucks. Plus, Sirius Satellite Radio will have every local and national broadcast (provided by Westwood One) during the tourney.

ESPN’s Bottom Line on Wednesday said, “Astros P Roger Clemens tells USA Today he plans to retire after the World Baseball Classic unless he changes his mind.” Thanks.

ABC’s bottom-of-the-screen NBA scoreboard strip is very confusing because the shot clock is located too close to one team’s score, so it appears as if that team has 24 points. Williamson said he would look into it.
