F' Da Eagles

NSFW, or for public broadcasting.

Why does FOX show so many crowd shots during a game? It's like their desperate to show us how the fans are feeling. Who cares? Sitting at home, I don't need to be reminded that the fans are having a great time. I want to know what's happening in the game. Give me some hard analysis, tell me why a play worked or didn't. Football is probably the most complicated sport out there, and as I used to show on my video breakdowns, there is a wealth of information to analyze on every play. 22 people performing highly skilled athletic tasks in a synchronous movemeant that requires exquisite timing, body control, mental acuity and strenght of will. I've heard that there's a chess match going on out there so many times, but I never see any of this strategy analyzed unless there is a touchdown scored. Give me analysis, don't give me shots of some drunken bozos in the stands, it just makes me envious that I'm not there being a drunken bozo myself. During one of the BCS games, Fox even cut out in the middle of a play to a crowd shot. Who cares? Give me some cheerleading shots coming out of commercial every once in a while, and I'll be happy. In fact, if you could give me a shot of a cheerleader breaking down the plays, you'd have gold on your hands. Hmmm....

And how the hell did the camerman or the director not see the writing on her shirt. Everything that's broadcasted goes by the eyes of multiple people. That shot lasts for a good 5 seconds, but I guess everyone was distracted. Ohhh! Pretty girl!

Not that I really care, I think there's too much censorship out there as it is, and I don't like the Eagles that much either.
