I'm so sick of CBS' coverage.

Banal, lame, bad commentators.

1. I would say the same about NBC's coverage
At least CBS puts the score on the screen during the game so you don't have to wait for a damn commercial break to see it.

2. Current contract expires in 2005
So NBC might be able to resume NFL broadcasts in 2006, assuming they want to and their bid is accepted.

7. Don't worry!
NBC has Arena football action until then!

</sarcasm>

BTW, I think NBC got the hint and now displays the score continuously during the Arena Football matches.

5. Agreed - worst commentators in SuperBowl - ever
They weren't Superbowl material.

Don't let the door hit ya on the way out of the booth...

6. I kept hearing dead air
After the first half, I switched to the radio and turned the TV down.

8. Unfortunately that's a problem with DirecTV...
By the time the signal gets to the DirecTV antenna, up to the satelite, backdown to my DirecTV/Tivo device, the radio is about 4 seconds ahead so it's "in the future" compared to the TV - quite aggravating!
