Raiders, Cowboys Cause Broadcasters To Lose Grip On Sanity

The Dallas Cowboys and Oakland Raiders are playing their preseason opener on Monday night at the O.co Coliseum. After the first half, the teams are locked in a beyond-thrilling 0-0 tie. Jon Gruden and Mike Tirico are broadcasting the game for ESPN and are trapped in the announce booth with nowhere to go.

Ever wonder how long it takes for the clutches of preseason football madness to ensnare your mind? About 30 minutes, apparently.
