24 fps is deliberate, but it doesn't work properly when only part of the video chain uses frame/capture/shutter rates compatible with it!

e: it will also look odd on displays that don't support refresh rates in multiples of 24 hz

Maybe its just the way that gif is rendering on my computer, but that's like 4 fps, not 24 fps.

I actually didn't mind the camera stuff as much as the music (which is too loud). At least they were trying something different.

I think burke slowed it down to exaggerate the effect so people could see what he was talking about

I listened to the show on the Lebatard podcast. Bo and Pablo are obviously naturals and have interesting things to say so it was fine on that end. The music is terrible though. I get the "lets play music like Desus and Mero" but it doesn't work when the background music sounds like the loading screen in some RPG.
Also I hope they do more non sports stories and mix it up with interviews and other segments.

Only games 2 and 3 are on NBCSN, all the others are on NBC.

Gotcha, makes sense.

I was going to be surprised game one did that well otherwise. Shame everyone wasn't watching that one because that was ridiculously fun.

It's a full week's worth of midweek fixtures at the start of December and every game on Boxing Day

I’m pro tech company streaming games because in theory they should actually be able to create a stable solid stream to watch.

From the sounds of it, those games were going to be off broadcast/cable TV regardless, as the Premier League was basically offering that package to streaming services only.

which is also weird because Boxing Day has always been a big day for football, as it's generally the one day of the year where every team from the Premier League down to the depths of the bottom of the pyramid will all play on the same day

The BBC have just updated the package details and it seems Amazon get the entire 10 match Boxing day program plus "10 bank holiday matches", which means they get 10 games spread over the August Bank Holiday, New Years Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday and the early May Bank holiday, rather than an entire midweek round of fixtures

Hopefully, this is a prelude to them adding in a winter break and getting these games off tv is step one.

I feel like NBA will happen in the next 2 years, at least for a decent chunk of games. NFL in the 20s, after it crashes and burns in a couple years because the owners are whiny racist pissbabies.

MLB and NHL both have decent streaming already, and can easily be made much better.

NBA is by far the most Online league and their streaming sucks.
