First Rule For Watching ESPN Marathon Coverage

Quoted message said:

Turn the sound OFF...

This reminded me of an interesting comment I once heard by Emmit Smith of Dallas Cowboys (American
football) fame. He said that he watches both videotapes and live broadcasts of football games with
the sound turned off because subtle patterns and details are easier to recognize. This started for
him with watching old game films in high school and college, which would have been no-sound anyway,
but he does it by choice now. Could be true for many other athletic events, and I've found it
enjoyable to do this while watching a number of events recently. chris

Move all readily thrown objects out of arm's reach.

not exactly running, but last year's soccer world cup. i used to watch it on a hispanic channel
instead of espn/abc. even though i didn't understand a word of spanish (except for
"gooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal"😉 it was so much more exciting.

Reminds me of what we used to do in Washington not too long ago. During a Redskins game it was
considered possibly better to watch the game on TV with the sound off and listen to it on WMAL radio
with Sonny Jurgenson, Sam Huff and Frank Herzog doing the audio. It worked great as far as the game
went. It got really funny sometimes during the commercial breaks. For example, the TV would be
having a beer ad while the radio is touting some financial firm and investment strategies. One would
see a bar full of people holding up full mugs of beer while at the same time hearing "Smith Barney.
We make money the old fashioned way: We EARN it". It was hilarious. Doug Burke

Yes for baseball this is definitely the way to go. (whether the game's on ESPN or not)

The thing I noticed was the tape delays differed. So the radio announcer called the strike before
the ball reached the plate and things like that.
