Congratulations to the 2007 New England Patriots. What a game. The Pats rally to come back from behind in the first half to win 38-35. Tom Brady and Randy Moss both break season touchdown records on the same play. Great to see a Michigan alumni who was a 6th round draft pick continue on his path to being listed as one of the all time greatest quarterbacks the league has seen. Picking up Randy Moss in the off season seems to have been the missing piece they have needed the past few years. On to the Super Bowl!

I’m glad the NFL decided to simulcast this on NBC and CBS but I’d have much rather preferred they allowed those networks to provide their own coverage. Listening to Collinsworth and Gumbel going back and forth was almost as bad as listening to Bill Walton ramble on. Listening to this coverage does not want me to hassle my cable provider to carry the NFL Network as a basic cable channel as they were constantly asking viewers to do throughout the game.

Congratulations again to the Pats.

While watching the Chargers vs. the Patriots in HD on Charter cable I witnessed one of the best things that could have happened in football history. During the 4th quarter I could no longer hear John Madden or Al Micheals. It was magical. I could actually watch the football game as if I were there. The crowd noise was intact, you could hear the players talk smack, and the picture was still as clear as ever. I even switched back to the normal SD station to see if it was a glitch on the HD station or just NBC in general. Everything sounded like normal on the SD station. I could still hear Madden interrupting Micheals with his definitive “BOOM” comments and other alzhimers related comments. It was a blessing to switch back to HD and watch one of my favorite QB’s (GO BLUE) dominate the Chargers (even though I have LT in my fantasy league)

I vote to allow this type of wonderful broadcasting (mistake) be an option for all future broadcast games!
