And not only that, he is an idiot. If he is arrogent but he knows what he is talking about, then I have less of a problem. But usually he is talking about stuff that doesn't make any sense and then Clayton comes on and owns him.

CC is so much smarter than SS, how could you ever think differently???

The Comcast HD quality is dismal as well on the NFL network during games. I guess you need direct TV HD to get the good picture for those games..........what a bunch of BS. And oh yeah, the commentating is absolutely miserable. All in all, a very weak effort, but I'm sure things will improve.

I have DirecTV and I'm not overly impressed with the HD picture either. It's a little grainy.

lucky dog, I wish I had the NFL ticket, but I just moved into a new place, too much of an investment for 5 weeks of games.

I was at TomTom's in Adam's Morgan for the 2nd half of the game last night, and their magnovox screens were putting out the best picture I had ever seen. Maybe they were plasma screens? Pretty sure they were Direct TV as well.

I agree with that, but if you notice Fox's HD signal sucks compared to CBS'.

Yeah but CBS loses points with me since they don't carry all the games in HD.

I read an article about that recently in Broadcast & Cable magazine and they said that it's basically quantity over quality. It is supposedly very expensive to broadcast the games in HD with all the equipment and shit like that so CBS invested in state of the art HD equipment and cover only a few games in HD whereas Fox basically invested in lower level equipment and they cover all the games. I agree with you though that it sucks that CBS only broadcast only a few games a week in HD, but I was really happy to hear that they are doing the Super Bowl this year.

I agree but neither one are worth a damn...

Bryant Bumble is the worst there is calling a football game right now. He shows very little enthusiasm and he is just a dry personality. I sure hope they find a replacement for the next season. CC has always sucked so I knew that going in. Overall the broadcast is pretty weak.

Salisbury is probably fully aware that he comes off like a jackass on camera. But being agreeable and boring does not keep you on TV even if you have knowledge. That's what is wrong with sports coverage on TV now...since there is so much of it these guys need to be different to stand out from the crowd. ESPN probably likes him more since fans hate him because they know people will tune in to see what he says.

I think that Gumbel sucks, he seems to get confused easily and is boring to listen to. They need to do something about him

I really haven't paid much attention to the NFLN's new broadcasts, i watched one game once and the commentary was so bad i just muted it and turned on some music.
