The broadcast delay on that game was the most I've ever experienced. I was watching it on regular, local cable and the TV broadcast was consistently 25 seconds behind the UGA radio broadcast. There was one moment that the TV was two plays behind, which is pretty spectacular in football.

Texans/Bills did enormous numbers

As you might imagine, this year’s ratings were helped along by the fact that Deshaun Watson and the Texans engineers a 16-point comeback in the second half, leading to an overtime period where viewership peaked at 35,450,000. The game also featured a few noteworthy moments that seemed to keep audiences engaged, including a game-opening touchdown drive by Josh Allen and the Bills and a strange Texans muffed touchback that was initially called a Bills touchdown but was then reversed.

The game delivered a combined 26.0 rating in Houston while the ratings for the Buffalo market won’t be known until Monday. Other top-metered markets for the playoff game include Nashville (23.5), Kansas City (22.3), Norfolk (20.7), Austin (20.2), and Philadelphia (20.2).

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

I don't usually watch afternoon games but even I somehow ended up watching this one.

Awful Announcing posted:

According to Front Office Sports’ Michael McCarthy, the network is ready to offer Tony Romo an annual salary between $10 million to $14 million. That would make him the highest-paid sportscaster in television history, far exceeding the current top salary for an NFL TV analyst.

Romo’s deal with CBS is set to expire after the current NFL season. He makes $4 million annually with the three-year deal he signed upon jumping to the broadcast booth following his retirement from pro football.

Looks like NBC new streaming service Peacock will have non-televised Premier League matches next season. I wonder whether that will be the end of NBC Sports Gold.

NBC Sports Gold is a series of passes - unless ALL of the passes are on there, I'd expect it to stick around.

It's such bullshit. Not sure about other sports, but if you watch multiple types of racing you somehow never have the correct number of passes to watch everything.

if anything they will just make sports on this platform just as inaccessible as every other provider

the whole sports streaming experience has ended up being every bit as lovely as cable before it

I've always thought it was so interesting the prep that needs to go into making broadcasters look good. Especially Tony Romo. Everyone fellates him, and some is obviously him, but there is a whole bunch of underappreciated people who give him all the data he needs

Marquee Sports Network will exist, and you will know Astros fans pain of not being able to watch local games for 7+ years.
