What about the commercials? Did it seem that the breaks were longer than ESPN? It did at the game.
I thought the announcers did a great job. The only thing I can't stand about football announcing anymore is the silly sideline bimbo reports. My wife even thinks it is ridiculous. Do any of you guys actually think it adds to the game?
It was Jacobson. Thought she was fine. I agree on Cox needing to get CBSSN on HD.Not sure who it was. As I said, I was in the stands, but indications above point to Dana Jacobson. If so, she generally knows her stuff.
I think its funny how the "sideline bimbo" position is constantly disparaged, when the real culprit of its down fall was a man (Eric Dickerson. He was awful on MNF.). Dont remember anyone saying anything negative about Jack Arute in the sidelunes in the Big Ten broadcasts with the Bret Musburger & Richard Vermiel/Bob Griese teams back in the Day.
It was nice to actually hear announcers be invested in the game action, and not just rambling about every other game or football program in the country just to bide their time for a few hours.
I don't think the breaks seemed longer, except that strange break they took in the middle of play in the 4th. The officials called a time out and they went to commercial? What was that about?What about the commercials? Did it seem that the breaks were longer than ESPN? It did at the game.
Watched game replay - they were balanced, obviously did their research and were knowledgeable. What a marked difference from ESPN's derogatory and dismissive commentary that oozes through.
Geez - they couldn't stay with a good thing? I guess the upside is that another set of talking heads get the inside look @ UConn.
