Hey Michael -
This is Geoff from BLDGBLOG. I appear to be caffeine-challenged this morning - because I can't figure out how to log in and leave a comment on your site! But I was going to say, vis-a-vis Sunday Night Football:
For very different reasons, ESPN.com's online Monday Night Football is even worse. You don't even get to watch the game there; instead, you get an absurd diagram of the playing field with little colored bars appearing every now and again, supposedly outlining the yardage covered by the most recent play. It looks like an Atari game, ca. 1983. It also occurs in complete silence, with no accompanying description of any kind. You'd think it was a speculative iPhone app being beta-tested by an under-funded Asperger research foundation.

In any case...
