Just awful - the Internet really has brought out the !@#$ in people (guess it's that ability to comment anonymously, with no repercussions). Not that Sammy should have said peep in the first place, but the hate spewed at guys like him, or EJ (and others too) is inexcusable. I'm really kinda glad none of it existed when I was a kid...

SUPER BOWL! (sorry, had to be said)

Interesting - the author says they chatted for hours and there's what, 3 Marrone quotes (and only one starts with "Obviously", so I'm not even sure I believe the other two ) and not really a ton of new info. He didn't know how to use all the forks at his first big dinner. Other people in the NFL don't think he's a bad guy. Guess we'll find out in 15 years why he left Buffalo...

I was yelling at the TV about this one as it happened, was easy to see on TV. In the replay though, you can't help but feel that Hughes is playing it up a bit - would rather than lean back to make it look worse that he just tried to keep going to take the QBs head off...

Jeeze, he's only brining up the switch because you did - no need to be snarky to the guy because he's offering solutions. And yeah, we get it, the streaming was a hard screwing for everyone - except for those of us it wasn't... Obviously some people had a better experience than others, just because yours was bad doesn't mean the entire thing was a failure, just like because mine was fine doesn't mean it was a success.

Did someone say shot? AND Kyle Orton? Make mine a double...

Seems strange that the NFL would pack, bring and set-up the communications systems, but the teams were responsible for the batteries. Not letting anyone off the hook, just seems odd to me. Also strange that the head-sets did seem to be working, except for in certain dead spots. Maybe those spots were far away from the transponder and were affected by weak battery levels? All-in-all, strange...

Would be interesting to see everyone's Speedtest numbers - I'm guessing those that had no problem, have really fast Interweb. I'll run mine when I'm home, but it usually cranks (definitely kills the speeds at work)...

I watched on my TV through my Apple TV (1) and had HD quality nearly the entire game. There were a few small hiccups and digital blurring (even a couple stops for a second or two), but overall I have no complaints. Except for the final score...

Did you figure this out? My friend is having the same Xbox Flash issue...

It's a little zoomed in on my TV, but thinking I can fix from Apple TV. Also, my house is like a sport bar with the TV, iMac and laptop all with the stream...

Got it on my Apple TV (V1), stream is fine with no stutters. But I do have a great high-speed connect... Yahoo pre-game - just annoying. Bloody or Beer? Bloody or Beer?

What? WHERE!? I'm staring into my toaster oven and don't see the game - epic fail by Yahoo!

Was going to post this - AMAZING. The AM sports bar rant and "every other rotavirus in coach form that Buffalo has hired over the years." line kill it!

Best prediction I've seen: http://teamstre.am/1S2g7Xz

To NUMEROUS TVs!? Unpossible! That's rad that they're opening - seems like that'll be a fun party! Have a Blue for me

Well, THAT I can't help Let's just hope that Yahoo! didn't drop that $17 Million only to F up the stream. I'd bet they'll go all out to make it as smooth as can be. I hope.

The real answer is - if they can't figure out how to get it on their TV one of about 57 ways, they'll have to watch on their laptops or desktop. If they don't have one of those, they can watch on their smart phone or tablet. If they don't have one of those, they're SOL and will miss the game. Seriously though, it's not *that* hard to get the game on a TV. An inconvenience? Sure. Impossible for most? Not really.

I'm going to guess the general response to this thread is something like "Right back at ya.".

In other good news WE'RE IN THE SUPER BOWL! Yahoo's Super Bowl... http://www.adweek.com/news/television/why-yahoo-treating-its-nfl-livestream-it-s-super-bowl-167725

This all makes me think of the great SNL line from last week: "What's the deal with emails anyway? I forgot my password the other day, so they say 'We'll email you a new one.' But I can't get into my email to get the password. I mean, talk about a ball-buster."

And with a QB Bills fans have been calling garbage for years (the fans and Sully would have tarred and feathered Dalton long ago)

Whatever dude - as long as we have Tyrod to Sammy and Percy this week and good 'ol Kyle plugging up the middle on D, I think we'll be good! I'm pretty sure the game is on channel 4 in Vermont...

:facepalm:
