Anyone else unhappy with the broadcast?

Just tried to rewatch the first preseason broadcast and found it just as annoying as before.

Ted Robinson and his partner (can't remember his name) spent the entire first quarter focused on the freakin Cowboys. Did not bother mentioning the Niners starting lineup and could not correctly identify who was making plays for the Niners. Or who was subbin in for injured players or who was on the field. Got the starting O-line wrong and could not correctly ID who was on the O-line when Williams ran in the first Niner TD.

Then the 4th quarter was devoted to Al Guido talking thru and over all the action on the field including the ref's announcements of penalties=--so they're both talking at once and neither one can be heard.

And Dennis O'Donnel is the worst--the dunbest sideline reporter ever. "Did Jimmy G overthrow those passes because of the pressure he now feels as the face of th franchise?" How long did it take Dennis to come up with that stupid question?

Preseason....

True and it was just as bad last year.

I guess I should follow your lead and just accept things as they are.

I think you should write the network. This is unacceptable.

Omg, Dennis was putrid.

I dont care about them getting names wrong. There are so many, and so much rotation, it just doesnt matter.

First string offense was worse

I live in Missouri and Ted Robinson and Tim Ryan were the announcers on the live NFL network feed. Maybe they were told to be unbiased and focus on both teams? They tended to gush over 49ers players for the most part and spent a while on Stayley miked up. I know what you mean about Guido's interview. They could have done that at halftime. If I was a Cowboy fan I wouldn't have been happy about the broadcast either. But from the looks of things, if I was a Dallas fan I probably was at the game. I watched a replay of the Jacksonville game the other day and it made me miss the old days of quality announcers.

I actually watched the Cowboys feed Thursday night, also bad.

It was really bad. It's always bad, but having Guido on as long as they did made it worse than usual for me.

Jimmy G did well on third down though?

This. All Guido had to talk about was the stuff dedicated to Dwight Clark, instead he just kept on rambling and rambling endlessly.
