Fill in the dead time:

 

Anchors aweigh, my boys
Anchors aweigh
Farewell to foreign shores
We sail at break of day-ay-ay-ay
Through our last night ashore
Drink to the foam
Until we meet once more
Here's wishing you a happy voyage home
 

[Donuts and Doritos]

They just played our "shout" song (minus the Bill's part) at the game.

After the game the reporter came up to Herbert just ask him two questions 

 

And he wanted the brush her off and said he wanted to celebrate with his teammates 

 

But these guys are being paid to be professionals and answer these questions that's what the guy who made the first post talking about it doesn't realize 

 

It is in their contracts that they have to answer those questions for the reporters after the game.. the quarterback does 

 

You're not allowed just to rush it off it's part of why you're getting paid hundreds of millions of dollars.. 

 

But then Herbert answered the questions because he even knows he can't brush it off

I do realize that. But it’s stupid and unnecessary. Just because it is in their contract doesn’t mean it should. It’s useless filler

Yeah but the players are getting those million dollar contracts because of massive television contracts and stuff 

 

Channel 4 and fox and ESPN televising football games to the entire country producing millions and millions and millions and millions of watchers is why they get paid the big bucks 

 

So appeasing the reporters who work for the networks is literally actually part of the job description.. it's part of the job description for a NFL player because that's a huge reason why they're getting paid so much

I had exact same problem, turned tv off and back on after 30 seconds and voila it worked. Are you using Directv?

Yep.

The first time it happened to me, years ago, I was thrilled. Crowd noise but no announcers!

And the I dumped Directv and it never happened again. Maybe Directv should market it as a "no announcer" feature.

I understand what you’re saying my man. But it shouldn’t be about appeasing the reporters or even the networks. Why do the networks pay so much money? Because so many eyeballs are on the product from the fan base. Thus, they should be appeasing the fan base and consumer. I don’t know how many people of said fan base give two craps about any of these useless sideline interviews. Honestly, if they’re going to keep the cameras on after the game, I’d be more interested in watching the players interact with each other after the game. The cameras could stay on the guys doing that, and that’s much more appeasing than some milqtoast useless filler interview.
 

Any of us who watch football for any amount of time could legitimately mimic both the question and response between the sideline reporter and any player before it even happens. There’s rarely, if ever, any true insight or interesting banter during these interactions. So if they want appease the Fanbase, they should  find something interesting that we would want to watch.

To infuriate myself even more I put Chris Collinnsworth's voice over the Army/Navy game , so every catch was.... "It's ok Mahomes threw that INT, it was like a punt anyways" and "Nobody does it better than Patrick Mahomes". I don't know why I do this to myself, I'm a sick son of a beotch.

5 of my 6 kids are still school age.   I didn't realize there was sound during any sports game.   I thought only Bluey, and Disney Plus came with sound.

.........for me, it's usually only when Collinsworth is covering a KC game

Romo also has a massive crush on a certain froggy QB that’s pretty unbearable

Announcers just need to “let the game breathe” as I like to call it. Allow the game to come to you (the commentator), don’t force words just to fill empty space. There’s nothing wrong with a bit of silence during a broadcast. But these guys are apparently instructed to babble on incessantly, because they ALL do it. 
 

Not to mention the inane useless sideline reporter coach interviews at halftime or post game. The situation with Justin Herbert after the Monday night football game the other night with Laura Rutledge. It’s a perfect example that these guys don’t care to do these pointless interviews immediately after a game. And they also aren’t interesting or educational to the fans. It’s the same unnecessary question with the milqtoast response from the athlete.

I used to hate Greg Olson because he talks WAAAY too much but I actually think he's very good.  Just gives me a headache.

 

I thought Pam Oliver was supposed to be good but she sounded awful last week.  She's like AI without the I
