How would you change the TV networks' sports departments?

[Mets82]

No blackouts
All NFL national, no more regional coverage

A-freakin'-men....

I disagree with that because how are you going to give all the games national coverage? I dont think the NFL or the networks would want a dog game as a stand alone game. Thats pretty much why NBC has the flex scheduling.

Abolish score/news tickers during live broadcasts of games
Stop with the over-Twitterfication of broadcasts
Allow any person the ability to view every pro/college game they want no matter their location either with satellite or internet broadcast
Abolish all blackouts of replays, news, or magazine programs
More boxing on TV networks
Simulcast at least 1/3rd of MLB, NBA, and NHL games on local OTA networks
Abolish NFL blackouts
All playoff games on free national TV

I agree. Get rid of those annoying tickers that take away from the game.

And Tim McCarver while your at it ....

But, but Jimbo, he caught Bob Gibson!

True, but you rarely had to hear him speak back then....

Didn't say get rid of him back then, I'm referring to the Announcer Mc Carver and company.

Get rid of "ESPN on ABC" and bring back the original ABC Sports.

Get rid of "ESPN on ABC" and bring back the original ABC Sports.

Amen to that

From baseball too.

I thought that is what he was referring to. He is more associated with baseball than football, since he is the Cardinals announcer.

Agreed. But if I could only get rid of one, Joe Buck please.

It was. But to my utter horror and astonishment, I've found him covering much more than baseball playoff games in recent years.

He's been on the Saturday Game of the Week for too many years.
