Question about the TV coverage for the Jets game

[osd22]

Compared to all the soccer broadcasts here in Germany, any NFL broadcast is like heaven. But to answer the question, I thought they did a nice job. I like CBS, even though I ain't mind the Fox guys either. They brought us 'Donald' ;-). I really like Aikman on Fox and Gruden on MNF.

Hes an old 60 though. Multiple hip replacements, concussions from playing, etc.

 

That is different from being "really old" at 64.  Old these days is about 80.

I think that was CBS's number 2 crew. It feels like Dan is 80 because he went straight from football into the booth, he's been doing games for 30 years. I like Dan but he's funny because he basically repeats exactly what your eyes see. He doesn't add anything unexpected or insightful. If Captain makes a play : "and Captain Munneryln makes a nice play, he ran up and made the tackle".

 

The picture quality on CBS is better, they broadcast in 1080i compared to Fox's 720p. They usually are more consistent with number of cameras too. Fox goes real low budget on games with no hype.

And, you do know that the cameras the networks use, the number & where they are, affects any replays there will be during the game. The officials are pretty much limited to what the tv network provides. I've seen some of our games where there weren't the camera angles or even shots needed to overturn or confirm a challenged call. If Godell wants to create more rules, he should consider one to make the network camera work consistent game to game. Sadly, college games are in even worse shape with the camera work.

The F team on CBS is better than the Fox A team.

Fox brought us Chad Pennington and Torry Holt the man who never finishes his.......

Rock Bottom for me was listening to Bill Romanowski read off bench press numbers.

Yep!!! CBS has a dark richer picture even to other networks who broadcast in 1080i... ESPN's picture on the other hand is too bright.

Wished the NFL would let the viewer chose the camera angle or even put helmet cameras on a few players...
