Game On TV

They pipe in way more crowd noise. You can hear the bands, hear the PA announcers and get a sense of momentum at the game.

The only problem is that SkyCam still has too many blind spots and the camera angles can get janky. I don't understand why they don't just use a drone. It would seem way less expensive than hanging metal cables in a bunch of different stadiums and moving SkyCam from cable to cable.

^^^ The NFL broadcast is even shittier and more useless. At some point they decided that miccing up the quarterback made for good television. Some people thought that it was cute when Peyton Manning said Omaha and other quarterbacks use silly words for audibles, but mainly it causes the game to sound like it's being played in a sound booth and you can get no feel for crowd noise and momentum.

I mute the sound because I know what's happening without commentary.
Plus those clowns on the sidelines were a joke.
Plus 2/3 of the telecast is commercial breaks and I definitely don't want to hear the commercials.

I didn't see the option last week, but in earlier games this season, ESPN 4K on YTTV had zero commercials and cut to a crowd camera in the corner of one of the endzones at breaks.
