30 bucks. yep wwl. you choice which teams local broadcast you want to listen to.

The ESPN crew was talking for the sake of hearing themselves. They did not even talk about the players except the big names. it was not a broadcast of a game it was like they are "ET" Tonight. The belong in a supermarket newspaper. Waiting for the alien got me pregent interview.

does the stream break up a lot?

This isn't the exact way it went down, but it was very similar.

- "..and he has a twin who we covered last week that plays for Oakland..."

- "Wow! How did you know he had a twin?"

- "Because we talked about it last week!"

Hahaha.

It was indeed a terrible broadcast. Theisman is getting worse in time. People who know him from where he is from in New Jersey say people there think he is an %#$&*.

I counted three times Kornholer told flat out erroneous information. He seems out of his league. Just a talking newspaper head that has made it into tv.

Trico was acceptable but was just lead along down the path with the other two fools.

And the TO thing... it is so bad on ESPN I am going to write a letter to today. It is more like the National Enquirer or Sun of sports rather than sports coverage. I encourage you all to write and complain- Cut out the TO crap and please get rid of blabbering Michael Irvin. I wish I had an automatic mute everytime he opens his mouth.

Truly, it may be a season for an alternative audio to these games. I'm no fan of Madden's descriptions that sound like comic books but it is better than this.

A lot of good points here. First off....I too feel that ESPN tried to root for the Saints but we gave them nothing. In fact...I'd say they were reaching when they decided to show one of Reggie's famous cuts clearly highlighting the fact that there were 3 Cowboys around him when he made the move with cute little numbers and everything to highlight play. On the other hand one could swear that this was one of those weird episodes on a TV show where a main character did not take part in the show...T.O. This was supposed to be a preseason game. My guide said so. It was actually the "T.O. Show". But we are sorry to inform you that our host will not be available tonite due to health concerns.

ESPN did the public relations thing. they did not know a thing about the rosters on each team. they took the easy way out and stuck to the recent news players. ET format. They should skip the calling all together and do what the NFL Network does. Home team get its local broad casters calling the first half and second half goes to visitors. at least they stick to the game, review players on the field and not the "ET" story lines. sorry I do not see them wanting to cheer for us much less dallas our the game in general. They would not have gotten a job call a college game.

I also wrote Florio at PFT to post that link since he is a Theisman critic too. A link there would really generate some email. Write and ask him to-
