6 To be fair, both entities are doing the dog.

Basic camera work, sounds of the game, and few info graphics would do wonders as we have gone from sportscasters who know the game in and out and love it, to commentators who live off cue cards and piss off viewers.

Seriously, Joe Buck's greatest broadcast in his career was last night when he just STFU for almost an inning. I think he was a little pissy the game went extra.

Watched KSU@KU football game last weekend. Real low prestige game to host, right? Had to dig up a couple old guys. They were sportcasters of the olde school and were fantastic. Also a flat blunt reminder how low, boring, and vanilla sports coverage has become.
