DGREENHULK Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 In the defense of the camera crew we usually don't throw the ball more than 10 yards down the field....they are still adjusting to the changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky21 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Plus I noticed at the Pats game last week that the camera operators are on the sidelines during the cheerleads' quarter ending routines and not up close like the regular season. :laugh: B@#$%^&*!

SilkyDiamonds Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Not only that but Theismann is the master of being able to spin anything the Redskins do positively. He should be a politician. That said, I'm a fan of Joey Sunshine. Truest thing I've ever read lol Senator Theisman........... he's got the hair, talks constantly, spins everything, great smile, the necessary 3rd wife, and once had a thing with Kathie Lee whats not to love lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wshngtn1 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 As PCS alluded earlier, we streamers had 2 cameramen. The one you saw and some guys who decided to play video games when Colt came on and left the feed on. I was just getting past the whole "I'm really watching a guy's webcam pointed at his TV" and then he goes and starts playing soccer on Xbox...and yeah, right before we started moving the ball. Argh. On a side note, anyone know when the NFL Network re-air will be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsair_joe Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Yeah, I have to agree. That was pretty crappy overall. I guess this is sorta Theissman's last chance to be on tv, dear god is he annoying. Letting Lindsey Czarniak play Erin Andrews and do sideline interviews is kinda nice though :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikie Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I heard a rumor the cameraman from last nights game was the same guy who served as the cinematographer from BOURNE ULTIMATUM... no link though... one positive for me about the local broadcasts were KJ and lindsey :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba9497 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 The camaera work in the first quarter was horrible... makes you wonder if there was anyone manning the cameras. The announcers were okay to me.... I have heard much worse for preseason games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PorkSkins Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Is the media behind the downfall of Preseason? IMO, this has been the worse preseason attendance for a lot of teams. The TV ratings have to be horrible. I think they are driving this train to rid the NFL of at least two of the preseason games. It's a shame because preseason used to be an economical way to meet your favorite players and watch a game without needing a small loan. Maybe the NFL should back a summer developmental league and let the undrafted rookies battle it out before the real season starts. Then the NFL could just jump right into week one feet first!

DaGhost Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Comcast's coverage was awful. Theismann butchering peoples name and bad camera work just made it miserable. i agree... and having to listen to larry michael and trevor matich on that channel just compounds my disdain for comcast's coverage...

S.T.real,lights,out Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Welll i had to watch it through some guys video camera last night. It looked great before, after and during commercials. But as soon as the play started it would lag. Grrrrrr! Week 1 Giants = HD!!! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirClintonPortis Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 You thought that after Santonio Moss that Santana Holmes wouldn't happen, then Mike Patrick drops the ball and says "intended for Holmes" when he meant "intended for Moss". :hysterical: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouvan59 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 The thing that drives me most crazy are the sideline interviews in the second half while the game is live. They turn my big screen TV into a 13 inch portable by showing the live action on a tiny inset, the interview on an even tinier inset, and some stupid smoky black background filling the rest of the screen. SHOW ME THE ****ING GAME, you idiots. +1 I'm not sure whose idea this was but it wasn't a football fan. And as for sideline reporters in general I hate them unless they are getting updated injury information. Other than that they are useless and a complete annoyance. If I have to hear Suzy Kolber tell me about how a linebacker is playing for his little brother who has Down Syndrome one more time I'm going to scream. Leave that for middle of the week reporting. During the game I want to see replays or analysis of the actual play. Almost as annoying as the celebrity interview in the booth. :redpunch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ST is my boy Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 It's not just the Redskins though. If you watched the preseason games for other teams, the announcers, camerawork and production is just as bad. I don't know who handles these things and why they do such a poor job, but I guess the local folks just don't have the experience or training to properly broadcast a NFL game. Agreed.....I watched an NFL reply of an Eagles game and they were using their home broadcast.....and WOWOWOWOW does Hermen Edwards sound bad as a commentator. 100 times worse than JoeyT trust me.

Jason Campbell 17 #1 fan Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Comcast's coverage was awful. Theismann butchering peoples name and bad camera work just made it miserable. Are you talking about Reed Darty or Bryant Westbrook or Brian Orapko. Kerry Collins, Chase Daniels, I can't think of anymore, but I'm sure I'm missing a couple of them.

Kerry Collins, Chase Daniels, I can't think of anymore, but I'm sure I'm missing a couple of them. yeah, how hard is it to say orakpo i kept here orkapo orakapo orakbo the man is the talk of the offseason, and noone can get his name right. the broad cast with sunny sam and frank is just as bad. sam and frank have gone insane, and none of them know the players. 'that mason guy, i think he's a running back, whats his name?' 'orakapo is the best mlb to come out of the draft in a while' its pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Fried Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 The funny thing is that they weren't even play fakes. Campbell drops back and throws, and the camera doesn't follow. It happened three times this game. It was like the cameraman was falling asleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFKFedEx Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I'm gonna blame Danny for the fact that the only way to get HD was through Comcast, an official partner of the Washington Redskins. Comcast paid Danny big $ and they promo'd the hell out of their HD exclusivity. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that we're the only franchise in the league who didn't provide free HD through the air on a local network. Anyone know if the folks in Buffalo, AZ, Det, Cin got free HD in preseason? C'mon Danny defenders, where you at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purbeast Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 it was only horrible when they were broadcast on "comcast HD" the damn camera guy missed the freaking fumbled kick off return for TD last night lol ... wtf? the steelers one was terrible too.

Karl W Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Joe T. is the worst color man in the history of the NFL. He should not be allowed on TV. This guy doesn't have a network contract during the season, does he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted September 4, 2009 Author Share Posted September 4, 2009 I have no problem with Joe Theismann as a commentator. I think he provides some good insight, and he's right 99% of the time on penalty calls. Plus, he shows a sense of humor every once in awhile, which I appreciate.

Well I wouldn't want to sit next to him on a long bus ride, but as a color commentator he's not bad. It's nice when a person finds the right niche in life. Like motormouth Joey T. actually getting paid to talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwbiggs Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Hey...I'm just glad to get a game in HD...in my area you can't get CBS or Fox local channels in HD through Satellite. My only relief during the reg season is if the NFL Network replays a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
