I watch football. I usually tape a few games each week and watch at night. That way I do not have to watch the commercials and the non-play segments. The NFL is in the entertainment industry, and professional football is hugely watched. But I think the broadcasts can be improved. Here are my suggestions to improve the NFL telecasts:
- Change out the broadcasters. I am very tired of hearing from Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long, Tony Dungy, Boomer Esiason, Rodney Harrison, Pam Oliver, Troy Aikman (boring), and all the rest. Announcers must use proper grammar. Pick ex-players that have keen insights into the game. And that have some enthusiasm for the game.
- Halftime segments are boring and loaded with commercials. A good time to eat and pee! Can’t believe Jason Garrett is in the broadcast. Who hired him? Another boring commentator.
- Huge mistake to move Thursday night broadcast to Prime streaming. Guess it was all about the $$$$’s.
- Head coaches should look very professional. I want to see the head coaches in suit and tie. Currently many are shown being 30lbs overweight, and unshaven. They look like they slept in their cars. Matt Ruhle in an example.
- Can the league teach players not to “hold?” Every broadcast there are 3-5 holding calls. Same with pass interference. This is sloppy football and slows down the game. Also, teach players about the “neutral zone.” I don’t want to see that penalty anymore.
- The commercials are nauseating. I do not want to see that woman from Progressive Insurance ever again. Get some new ads and new sponsors. That damn lizard selling insurance makes me ill.
- I don’t like the split screen, seems schizophrenic. I can’t really see either image.
- On a positive note-really like Eli and Peyton. Both a smart and funny.
- Lastly, I do not want to see any social or political messages on helmets. Just want to see high quality football.
