2. In Phoenix if the Cards play on Sunday, we get the game over the air

We'll also usually get one or sometimes 2 other games on Sunday. Then SNF is always on OTA, but it's freaking Chris Collinsworth and OMG I hate his announcing. Not him, he seems like he's a great dude but just ... he's so freaking obsequious all night, it's like his whole job is to speak in ridiculous superlatives (esp. about whichever 'star' QB(s) are playing) and just generally state the obvious. Grrr.

Then IIF there's two MNF games, we'll usually get 1 of the 2 on ABC, but never if there's only 1 MNF game, then it's only on ESPN. I don't pay for ESPN but sometimes watch it at friends and go "man I wish Troy and Joe did SNF instead" lol.

I have to say though, the quality of the picture on OTA games is just OUTSTANDING, I'm just like I cannot believe this picture just comes through the air. You'd think for sure they're be a sacrifice on how it looks vs. streaming but there's NOT a noticeable difference (I know, it's all digital, derp, but it's a trip to me lol).

Then I have to also say I *want* dislike Tom Brady for some reason, but I just can't. He's like 2 years in the booth and he's already one of the best announcers, fairly easily. That lucky bastard is great at everything

Collinsworth's voice bugs me. It's nasally and he never shuts up. LisaM Nov 25 #5
My thoughts on Joe and Troy is entirely based on having suffered through Collinsworth the night before AZJonnie Nov 25 #8
