Found the Boomer.

You really like seeing the plugs for 60 Minutes during the game and miss Murder She Wrote, don't you?

The only network worth leaving CBS for is NBC. CBS sports coverage is miles better than Fox and ABC/ESPN.

The big problem with ESPN coverage is that most, but not all, of their broadcast teams simply do not do their homework, or at least don't do it well. They get names wrong all the time, they don't know basic facts about the teams they're covering, and they make it abundantly clear that they'd rather be elsewhere unless the game is some back and forth nail-biter for 60 minutes. Gary is irritating as shite sometimes, but the guy does his homework. He knows all there is to know about the teams he's supposed to be talking about that week.

No to CBS. I love the 2:30 games but 4-5 hours for 1 football game with all of the commercials are dumb

Wow,so commercials have your panties in a wad and has nothing to do with the game time product they produce?

Should I duck for the "I hate Gary Danielson" follow up?

Do you need someone to hug you while screaming at the commercials during the game?

ETA You do know the production times for both NBC and CBS
CFB coverage is exactly the same {210 minutes} correct?

I would gladly trade Danielson for Todd Blackledge or Herbie, or G-Mac. Stay away from all the extracurricular activities also known as brain freeze side-programming from ESPN and you will be fine.

Even now, we get one CBS game and the rest have been getting ESPN anyway. Making too much of it.

I can’t wait until ESPN gets the SEC contract and they put some of the SEC’s great games on ABC and we get the awful ABC HD picture quality that is vastly inferior to the HD picture quality on CBS, FOX, or NBC.



I’ve noticed this...The other big 3 networks picture quality absolutely murders ABC.

Bottom line, if SEC goes 100% ABC/ESPN, we must demand way more from them in regards to production quality.

Explain to me why the CBS game takes 30-45 minutes longer than any other game, to include the NBC SNF game.

And while Gary is annoying as shite sometimes, he actually knows his stuff unlike the ABC/ESPN crews who have to a MAC game, then do a Sunbelt game, then to a P5 game. Those crews simply do not have the time to digest every team's media guide (which would tell you how to pronounce player names and hometowns) and get spun up on how that team is actually performing.

Tony Dungy is great at being an analyst for both games because he only has to focus on ND/ACC, and the NFL which he knows backwards and forwards.

But CBS's production is Boomerrific. You can see it with the NFL games as well. But hey, they appeal to their network's audience. A late-90s/early-2000s NFL on FOX robot wearing shoulder pads spearing another robot would probably give a CBS audience a seizure.

The quality of the CBS broadcast production is so good it really makes your team look better than maybe it is. It is such a professional type broadcast, similar to their NFL broadcast.

Perception is reality and the difference of how I feel about my team after watching us on CBS vs watching on ESPN2 is night and day.

Production time is identical to NBC and their ND coverage

WTF are you talking about with the boomer bullshite? IM talking about PRODUCTION VALUE and end product. Nobody spends more money or devotes more personnel to CFB coverage.

Does your cable company only allow you to pay for CBS, The Weather Channel, and TCM?

Every game on ESPN feels like a MAC Tuesday night game. Games on ESPN don't feel like big games, even the ones that are. Drab. No energy. Every game just feels like one giant boring segway to Sportscenter.

I'll admit, the quality of that Notre Dame - Clemson game on NBC made me jelly.

Unlike ESPN, 1/3 of the screen wasn't scores and stats from other games with ads for stuff I don't care about in the same yellow color as a flag, making me think there was a penalty.

On my TV, the video quality was a little better than CBS/FOX and a million times better than ESPN.

Tirico and Dungy were great also.

the egg bowl broadcast was one of the worst I have seen. They couldn't get either of our player's names right. Embarrassing


Between the awful announcers and the terrible cameraman, it was the worst broadcasts I've seen in many years. Absolutely pathetic.

I would love if NBC decided to shell out the money for the SEC. They get big time TV ratings by having Notre Dame in the afternoon and the SEC game of the week at night.

Whoever gets the contract, I hope it can be a national telecast, same time slot, like CBS is now.

As far as announcers go I don't pay much attention to them or what they say. At times I know the rules of the game better than some of them know them. That is not encouraging. These human interest stories bore the hell out of me. It seems popular to put those on much too much. Those type of stories make the Olympics impossible to watch.

I'm going to miss CBS broadcasts.

They also have the most epic introduction music to a game. Hard not to get pumped up when that intro music starts.
