Kudos to 98.5 the sports hub coverage of sunday's patriots game

[Tilden]

I am a fan of Bob Socci and Scott Zolak's coverage of the Patriots games. So, I locate the station the Pat's game is broadcast on this week and mute the TV.

This week I noticed that the game on Channel 4 - the CBS Sports outlet - was way out of sync with the game on the radio.

Apparently, CBS Sports was running the game through a tape delay. While CBS Sports was running a series of commercials the ' live ' game on 98.5 covered several downs the 'taped-live broadcast' missed to sell you Subaru's or Toyota or Budweiser.

At one point I thought I hit the remote and changed the station because what was on the screen bore no resemblance to what I was hearing on 98.5.

I counted four instances in the first three quarters of the game when CBS Sports came in late....very late to the game.

In the Fourth Quarter CBS seemed to sync up with the live radio broadcast but by then the game was essentially over for the Jets.

Again, the "Budweiser and Bufferin " salesmen are clearly in charge.

Next season I will continue to mute the TV Broadcasts of the Patriots games and turn on Socci and Zolak.

Guess what, you are neither hearing nor seeing anything live anymore. With HD technology, both Radio and TV both have numerous routes in which their content must travel before it's seen or heard, in addition to an in booth or studio delay for naughty language and images. But yeah, conspiracies and stuff...

I don't even mind that they are slightly ahead of the TV rather than to have to listen to Tony Romo.

I think Romo is great. Better than Phil Simms. Then again, someone breaking wind to the melody of Row, Row, Row Your Boat into the mic would be better than Phil Simms. But I Digress.

I guess it's just a matter of opinion, I liked Phil Simms a lot better, not that it matters.

I'll just put on Bob Socci and Zo.

I think Phil fits in better with the coaches during pre-game and half time. It's more his speed.

Although I sense they're just doing it to run out his contract.
