Estelle Getty Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Those Fox sports commercials were so painfully bad. They were over the top, suppose to be intense, and noisy. I was waiting for the Predator to jump out or something. They really need to rethink the way they do their network sports commercials. Did anyone else notice this?

Estro Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Pam Oliver couldn't get a question out cleanly in those player interviews to save her life. It was tough to listen to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estelle Getty Posted August 27, 2018 Author Share Posted August 27, 2018 Yeh, she asked Kyle Williams if the playoffs last year were because they were good team or was it "all smoke and mirrors". Why waste your breath Pamela. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 The quality of NFL sports broadcasting is atrocious. The NBC Sunday night production is by far the best in the industry; the rest is pretty freaking bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chandler#81 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I was hoping for a professional and quality national backstory to the ‘Dalton thing’ that I figured wouldn’t be good enough from either teams’ local coverage. In this, I enjoyed the broadcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpberr Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Tony Gonzalez is not good at his job. I'm still amazed Fox rolls out those early-2000 robot graphics still. As an aside, Shane Black is going to regret making his Predator movie. It looks so Straight to DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike in Horseheads Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I know it was a preseason game but why show us the guys in the booth yapping with someone while the game is being played, at least split screen that crap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 It was so bad. The guy who opened the broadcast said the Bills went to the playoffs for the first time since 1990. Then the OTHER guy said "When in Buffalo, you've GOTTA get some BBQ!" It only got worse from there. Hey, it's preseason for broadcasters, too!

Like A Mofo Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I have a theory as to why a majority of us feel the national broadcasts of Bills games are not up to par: Back in the days when there was no internet, no access to WGR 550 on any device, thousands of Bills blogs, message boards, the information that these games provided was good to us because there wasn't anything else. Now a lot of us are more advanced and knowing of the in and outs of this team, so the national coverage isn't up to what we want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now a lot of us are more advanced and knowing of the in and outs of this team, so the national coverage isn't up to what we want. every sport has gotten more complex, especially the last decade, with strategy and player changes and formations, and the TV announcers tell us NOTHING more than we can see with our eyeballs, even on replay they add NOTHING at all radio is usually a local team who knows the roster and the inside stuff and can tell us when something unusual has set up in subs or formation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
