every once in a while networks like to get cute and use those overhead cameras to cover live plays. usually they're relegated to special teams plays, which is fine.

on sunday they kept overhead, POV coverage on numerous offensive snaps. absolutely fuging idiotic gimmick that prevents the viewer from watching the full play on the field. much like self-indulgent cinematographers need to go to hell for unduly influencing a film with distracting shot setups, fox needs to keep the side cameras on during snaps and use the overheads for replays only.

I could be mistaken but during the game they mentioned they were having some technical difficulties with some of the cameras. If you noticed during the second quarter the camera was on the fritz from the traditional angle.

Agree 100%. It's fine to do it maybe once or twice a game in certain situations but they did it on like 5 plays straight for us and others as well. Was way overboard and over the top, like they're filming for Any Given Sunday rather than airing a live football game. Show us a regular view so we can see the damn plays

I was complaining about these to my wife (who gave exactly zero shits) during the game Sunday.  After the first or second time I ever saw them it was just an annoyance.  Even if what I wanted to see was in the frame changing the perspective on the fly made it annoying to digest what I saw without having to back it up and watch it again.

I don't like change damnit

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
