"mute commentators" option

I wish they'd do that with the Vikings games so I could listen to the radio broadcast over the horrid crews of Fox. I haven't found a very good way of doing this though and am hoping someone posts a suggestion that works when the radio is ahead of the TV. I might go nuts if I need to hear another Fox idiot talk about how strong of a handshake AP has.

Seriously...call the local radio affiliate and ask. Most of the time, they'll agree with you that it's a good idea (it'll increase their listenership). All they have to do is modify how long of a delay they have. Very easy to do.

But that requires me to do something instead of sitting on the internet complaining about it.

I appreciate the advice TJ. I probably wouldn't think of doing something like this on my own.

"All" of us?

Essentially, the network would have to broadcast the game on two different "TV channels", basically doubling their uplink costs. Nice idea but I don't see it happening.

I find just the opposite. Usually the radio is ahead.
