ESPNHD MNF 8/17/09 - Panthers vs. Giants

Very soft picture with a lot of grain-type noise. Not one of ESPN's better games. Watching on FiOS.

Agree about the soft picture, at least on the top 3/4 of the screen I can see.

Looks about like Thursday's game. Blues are really noisy though. Looks like they're having some issues with the scorebug.

I thought they were going to "fix" the ridiculous size of their scoring graphic? It looks like it takes up ~15% of the screen.

I think these things usually don't go live until the new season or maybe the game right before. I remember ESPN was still running the old, less intrusive score bug during preseason last year.


Presumably it will change. The old graphics don't mesh at all with the new Bottom Line.

And what's with the abused animal commercials at every break? Those spots are gut-wrenching for a pet lover like me and I have to literally not look and turn the channel --- crimony sakes!

Watching MNF football simulcast on WCNC OTA from Charlotte. Quality looks identical to the ESPN feed. WCNC is about 2 seconds ahead of ESPN on Dish Network.

Very soft PQ. Lots of noise.

The worst images seemed to be from the main camera (not sure how to properly describe it, but is is the one used to show most of the plays). Couldn't even see the NY on the Giant's helmets on my projector. Yuck!

I forgot, am I watching ESPN MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL on Monday night, on ESPN, and this is football?

What kind of freaking idiots do they think we are?


Graphics too high up on the screen, it's too busy down there. Same crap as last year, so I wont be watching anymore than I did then.

People who love football will watch no matter what.

I love soccer, but if soccer had as much crap on the screen and lines all through the field I wouldn't watch it.


I'm intelligent, I can deduct that if a team hasn't gone 10 yards in 4 plays they might have to punt. I don't need to see if twice on the screen. And yes I do know that I am watching MNF on ESPN on Monday night, and it's football, and its at night, and it's not college. However for some reason the people at ESPN think I am a neanderthal and can't remember the details.
