Or sometimes Jim will say "Patriots line up, blah blah blah" but not saying "The" is bizarre and it's something you can tell they didn't catch in editing, especially since the same issue was there in M13.

Then you have problems with the timing of certain lines, the way the lines aren't programmed to react accordingly to what's happening on the field as often as it should and often times not at all (like during a big INT, fumble and/or fumble recovery, or return TD), and so on and so forth. And how many times do they have to have Nantz tell us that the same receiver is in the slot again and again?

Since M13, the commentators SOUND better sonically, and that's big. But the issues I mentioned are bigger and that's why the commentary is generations behind where it should be. All of this has been said before though. They've been told. Will they ever actually care? That's the question that remains unanswered for many years now.

Good post. Totally agree. No matter how much they record, or who they get in there, it's still up to Tiburon to bring it into the game and have it function properly.
