Game Coverage Sucks

[brent]

Aren't you amazed, though, that they dropped Joey T and yet managed to talk even more? I think Joe served the purpose of keeping the other guys from talking and that was a GOOD thing.

I didn't hear them say that the Eagle fans booed Santa Clause. Did I miss it?

I loved the video clip of Campbell's eyes though. That was gold.

They booed Santa and pelted him with snowballs.

They cheered when Michael Irvin broke his neck.

They booed when the team drafted McNabb. (hilarious video)

ESPN - Philly fans' rogue image got boost when Santa booed in 1968 - NFL

Ditto. That was awesome and credit should be given to ESPN for that sweet, albeit quick, morsel of Redskins coverage.

There were some really good production elements in the show... THe Campbell eyes package was EMMY award winning type stuff. That was the big criticism about Campbell up to this point and that was really spot on how they covered his progression. I also liked the McNabb package showing 6 plays where he missed open recievers. Really told the story of the game. I agree the booth was shown way too much and as a die-hard skins fan I felt a disconnect to what was going on the field at some points. When Landry totally whiffed on Westbrook I wanted a mention of that how he just was introduced to the NFL and I wanted a replay of Taylor's huge hit. The fumble that was overturned was bizarre... I'm watching and seeing the ball move and start to come out and everyone else refs included saw something else, it was like the twlight zone. Only thing i could think of is the ball came loose and he regained control and touched his knee down, wouldn't know however becasue they were talking about other shizz. Also the tease right before kick was excellent, no other network can match that piece hands down. Guarantee all the other networks are scratcning their heads trying to think of ways to produce that type of element ... Even though i didn't like seeing McNabb avoid skins, he's done so in 8 of the last 11 games so it's the story. He was one of the biggest, if not the biggest star in the game. Barkley is a personality like Howard Stern, people really love him and will watch or people really hate and will watch to see what he'll say next, liked him in their but was in for too long I agree.
