When NBC uses Skycam for Notre Dame games, it’s a damn nightmare. If the ball is thrown further than the camera’s view, you just have no idea what’s happening until the camera gets there.

That’s what Troy Aikman is for

SkyCam should put a dang chip in the ball so it can track every play like this.

Spoke to an operator the other day and they confirmed that everything is brought in and taken down after each game. A relatively small team for the huge task of audio, video, production, shipping off package for broadcast, etc. Glad you gave these guys a shout out as it’s incredible work we now take for granted.

That makes sense - throwing it away is sometimes the right thing to do, so it shouldn't detract from a perfect rating.

You deserve a murder of stars for this.

The sports agent from the state farm commercials is the only likable person in those commercials. And he is awful.

He is for me. Not developing. Tired of waiting. Can’t find open receivers. Accurate as a Trump hurricane map on throws with any arc. I feel like I’ve been patient with him, but I’m done now. He’s bad.

It made more sense at the time. The wrap on Rodgers was that he was a system qb coming out of Cal. There certainly had been Cal qbs who went to the NFL and were disappointing. Rodgers also had time to develop. He rode the bench behind Favre for two years and I think that helped. Heck, it might have even made him…

Luckily for both Martindale and Peters, neither had to eat any crow

I am still amazed that the Niners took Alex goddamn Smith over the guy from their own backyard who wanted to play for them, and that twenty-two other teams then followed suit. Like, Alex Smith was... fine, I guess (he’s the quintessence of “fine, I guess”). It’s not quite a Manning-vs.-Leaf situation, but still....

So you’re say there might be some merit to the theory that Mike McCarthy fucking sucked?

“A perfect 158.3 passer rating with a hallucinatory stat line: 25-for-31 passing for 429 yards, five passing touchdowns, and a rushing score to boot.”

To be fair, it's easy to play defense when Russell Wilson inexplicably turned into Joe Flacco for a day.

Agreed.

I mean, there’s no doubt that Rodgers is essentially co-coaching this offense with LaFleur, right? The Packers hired someone who could work with, and in some cases FOR, their Hall of Fame QB to try and get him one more ring. Smart move, and the path is set for a deep playoff run this season, with only the Seahawks or…

He hardly ever throws interceptions and when he does it’s usually balls tipped by the intended receiver. A career 4 TDs to INT ratio is pretty unbelievable. He’s the 8th QB to make it to 350 TDs.

I want Marvin Lewis back so bad. Making the bengals somewhat respectable while mike brown exists was a spectacular achievement, and something that will never be repeated. But as much as I’d take him back, good for Marvin for getting out. I‘ve been convinced since the day it happened that he retired by choice, and I…

I’m excited to see the scheme Flores comes up to get the Bengals that big win.
