Just kidding. I've posted about my DraftKings failures in this thread too.

Umm, all I took from that is "Thank God, I'm not married!"

Also why was the Jets head coach not smart enough to run the ball more and take it out of the hands of Wilson who is clearly a deer in headlights right now. Sorry but that kid is not ready to be a starter right now imo, i feel bad for the kid to be honest.

I tried to watch it but they were interviewing Brett Favre and trying to discuss the actual players on the field and all he could do was talk about himself lol. They tried like 3 times to discuss the guys on the field and everytime Favre would tell a story about himself so i just turned it back to the actual game.

I don't know it seemed more annoying than anything to me.

TV Exec: Look, I know people buy these huge Tv's so they can see more of the game. But...what if we use some of the screen to show scores from the day before and news you already get alerts to from your phone. And also, use part of the screen to show Peyton's giant forehead while he talks to the viewers. Fan's don't want to just hear Peyton, they need to see him too!

This is precisely what the Manningcast is to me. I wanna see more of the game action not valuable screen real estate being chewed up by extraneous scores and video feeds. I get that certain broadcasting crews/commentators aren't always the best, but I guess I'm more of a traditionalist in my old age than I thought I was. That being said, to each their own, I hope those that enjoy what the brothers are doing continue to have the opportunity to tune in.

Matt Millen was the color analyst during the Bills game this past Sunday. It was an…experience.

Shocker.... Another team that is 100% vaccinated too....

Through 17 weeks in 2020, there was never a weekend when 200 penalties were assessed. The high was 198 penalties in Week 2. This season, officials assessed 214 penalties in Week 1 and 221 more in Week 2.

Though for me now that i finally have an 85" screen i dont mind all the other stuff since the actual game is still BIG anyways.

Still way better than those annoying weird jarring videogame smoothing filter cameras they like to use. Or when they blur out everything behind so it looks like the reporter(s) is(are) floating in space. Why do people like this? It makes watching football so unenjoyable.

Cause producers wanna be cool when theyre really idiots.

[El Rey]

yeah I don't like the portrait mode filter during the game, very distracting

OBJ full go in practice this week but questionable to return Sunday

DET is shopping LB Jamie Collins, who didn't report to practice today

Great channel, but you miss too much from the teams trying to get to the red zone. Sacks, INT’s, fumbles, crazy ass catches and runs….nah, full games are still the best. Sunday Ticket for me.

Completely agree. Additionally I like to see all the in-between stuff, particularly the formations on both sides of the ball, motions, how each side responds, audibles, etc. Even with games/teams I don't have any particular interest in I'd still rather watch a full game.

[Moviefan1203]

Red Zone is great for when your team isn’t playing, but you miss too much when you care about an entire game.
