WMAR telecast - scoring bar obstruction

That black band showing the score is obstructing the upper 1/8th of the screen. Makes it nearly unwatchable!

The whole telecast was annoying, from the black band being in the way to Gerry Sandusky ragging on the officials for being nervous (calling Atlanta Arizona) when he himself was making twice as many mistakes...anybody else catch his call of the touchback a touchdown?

The WJLA telecast had audio from some drama show while it was showing the Ravens game. Really weird, lol.

I hated that the color was off. I have a properly calibrated TV and it was like bluish and dark. The same broadcast on NFL network when they'd do a peak in looked fine. However, it was coming from the ATL side. he production crew needs to do a better job.

Its a classic case of letting the graphics techies out of their little holes. Its the techies vision of the world - form over function. Never mind its a football game that people want to watch - lets saturate the image with all these information overlays - so that the viewer gets all the information that we think they ought to have - as opposed to what they really want. Another prime example of this is the worst, graphically overdone, website in the world - www.baltimoreravens.com

Except that BR.com has won numerous awards since it's inception.

I am really starting to think you simply throw negative stuff to a wall and see what sticks. There are other message boards out there that cater to this. You might be happier there?
