Very lame Sportscenter highlights
 

Did anyone catch Sportscenter last night? They really dropped the ball on the highlights for our game.

They didn't even have TJ and Chris Berman break it down on The Blitz, and the only highlight they showed from the Skins was the OT winner.

They showed 3 highlights from Jax and only 1 from the Skins.

What's up with that??

Re: Very lame Sportscenter highlights
 

It's the usual 'And in other news' attitude the media has for the Redskins.

They can save it for the Super Bowl, bitches!

Re: Very lame Sportscenter highlights
 

i caught that. sooo lame. it's like all the cable channels (ESPN, HBO) don't realize the Redskins have only THE BIGGEST MARKET.

Re: Very lame Sportscenter highlights
 

They all hate Dan Snyder!! (media) Pretty soon they'll have no choice but to make the Skins headline news!!!

Re: Very lame Sportscenter highlights
 

I really didn't get it. One of the best games of the season so far and they barely show any highlights.

Re: Very lame Sportscenter highlights
 

They'd better rectify that on NFL Replay.

Re: Very lame Sportscenter highlights
 

If that's not the game of the week then there is something seriously wrong witht he people making decisions in the nation media.

Re: Very lame Sportscenter highlights
 

well, since I don't have NFL network Ill be making my own NFL replay with the old DVR this week...

Re: Very lame Sportscenter highlights
 

NFL Network schedule has the replay of the Jax/Was game on at 8pm on Wednesday night.

I don't know if that is the "game of the week" slot, but it works for me. Interested to see some of the trenchwork by our d and o lines. That's where the game was won yesterday...zero sacks.

Lost is on at 9, so it works.

I'm already pumped for this because you tend to miss good stuff when you're up in the nose bleeds. But the live-atmosphere is worth it.

TAF, is it true that NBC owns replay rights for the games from the end of the 4 o'clock games until like 11:30 or 12? I noticed that Comcast didn't have any highlights last night and it was really pissing me off.

Can't. NBC's NFL deal gives them exclusive access to highlites until after their game. ESPN blew that one. They should have fought tooth and nail for it.

EDIT: AMD alluded to it above and yes they do.

Yeah the new contract very heavily favors NBC and the NFL Network

Re: Very lame Sportscenter highlights
 

I've noticed too when ESPN shows highlights from a NBC game, the NBC logo is VERY prominently displayed on the screen. I'm assuming that was part of their deal too.

It's subliminal advertising I guess. I know that when I get home from work on a week night and I want to watch some sports NBC is the first place I turn.

TJ is still salty over that Super Bowl

Re: Very lame Sportscenter highlights
 

It's a pretty big pile of crap that last week the Colts barely beat the Jags with zero offensive production, but yet a week later the Skins offense starts clicking, almost put up 500 yards of offense, and almost put up twice as many points up on the vaunted Jags defense and the Skins get no respect except from Woody Paige, Salisbury, and Jaws.

Re: Very lame Sportscenter highlights
 

i saw a bunch of mentions for brunell today... gurode and the nyj deserved to be higher up on the list. moss and portis got love, taylor was #2 on jacked up. it's not so bad.

Re: Very lame Sportscenter highlights
 

Like many of you i was a little ticked the Blitz didnt have better coverage of that great game and instead had tons of shit about a guy being stepped on the head and the seahawk bear blowout, who cares about a blowout when were talking about the revival of a team? Around the horn talked about it and we only got support form Woody Paige, but the others will see the light to when we light up New York

Re: Very lame Sportscenter highlights
 

I don't know who produced Sunday night's SC but I asked another producer for SC the rationale behind the decision. Here was his answer, for what it's worth:

"It is simply an editorial call. I am not sure how the decision was made to not include the game in the Blitz because it certainly seemed like one that you would have expected to see TJ & Chris do. There is only so much time in the show. It was the last day of the baseball season. You get the picture. On this particular Sunday the game deserved more than the :50 it got. My opinion. But those who were making the call that night have to make tough calls about which games get which highlight length… Hope this helps you understand… even if it doesn't necessarily satisfy you."

Re: Very lame Sportscenter highlights
 

Still lame.

There were other games they could have cut down on. A 36-30 OT thriller deserves more than :50 of highlights. I think the Skins-Texans highlights were probably just as long.

Meanwhile they ramped up the highlights of such thrillers as the Bears hammering the Seahawks.

Bad call anyway you look at it. That game deserved more coverage.

A double thumbs down to ESPN right now from me.

TAFKAS - howsabout you pull a couple of strings and fix this?

Re: Very lame Sportscenter highlights
 

Speaking of highlights, I can't wait to see Warpath highlights of the Jax game. Didn't someone mention yesterday that they were about to post them?

TAF's only jobs are to wax Berman's head and make sure Clayton doesn't have any embryonic fluid on his face before he goes on camera.
