Rush? Sports TV coverage of games - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Why can't we just have a game come on at 1 or what ever time it is suppose to start. Have the announcer tell the audience what the weather conditions are. Show the National Anthem being sung. Show the kick off, face off, tip off or first pitch. Then let us watch the game in peace. Don't have 2 other guys over analizing everything. Show commercials at time outs, give the other game game scores occasionally. Don't have the game announcer push the network's other shows.
At half time, show the half time show, ie the band, show commercials and other scores. No retired jocks sitting around a table making asses of them selves.(ie Terry Bradshaw, Dion Sanders)
Then have the 2nd half start and repeat above.
Let the old jocks that make millions of Dollars talking about nothing get a job selling cars or insurance and work like everyone else.
And, for god sakes, keep the women and fags off the sidelines asking stupid questions, I am waiting for a coach to tell one of these people to fuck off just like John McCain did to Maria Schriber during the last election.

People want to see this stuff. Just turn on the game at one, change the channel at halftime for 20 minutes, and turn it off at the end of the game.

That is fine, but do you want to listen to drone of talking about people with people about what somebody said on thursday. If you want to listen to this, put the radio on, but that is wrong, because on radio they talk less than TV.
When TV was invented it was for people to WATCH, Radio was for people who wanted to listen in the car or were blind.
I know why they have all of the stuff, it is because people bet on games and are in fantasy leagues.
But the people who just want to WATCH the game have to listen to all of the other crap because of the few under 25 year old males who like to lose money betting on the games.

If you could get all the stuff at the stadium on TV..why would people go to the games. Also, you need commentators to help bring in new watchers who may not know all the rules.

1. Leave the TV off until 1 o'clock
2. Use the "mute" button liberally
3. Listen to the radio broadcast whenever possible

I can't believe those 3 replies that I got to my post.

Why not? like I said, people want to see that stuff.

That's how I used to watch New York Ranger games that happened to be the ESPN game, since I hate Gary Thorne, or Yankee playoff games. Mute the TV, turn up the radio. They have to be much more descriptive of the action on the radio, which leaves less room for McCarver and Buck to babble on about bullshit, or plug the next shitty FOX show. DAMN I hate those two.

One thing I noticed when I did this for Patriot games, was that the TV is about 1 second behind the actual play. If you ever try to listen to a web cast, there is almost a minute delay.
