The best newspaper blogger out there, Dan Steinberg of the WASHINGTON POST, has these screen shots from the actual Redskins’ telecast last Sunday:
So just what the hell was going on at FedEx Field on Sunday for the Browns-Skins game?
Steinberg:
During three crucial sequences, the live action was completely blocked out by these massive, hulking, Hand Eclipses. Had I been watching live, I would have thrown my Cheez Dip at the screen. Did you see these plays? Did you freak out? Did you throw your Cheez Dip?
Apparently fans were able to witness what happened on the replays, which of couse makes everyone feel so much better.
Besides some callers to sports talk radio in DC, there hasn’t been a huge uproar (yet) over the hand jive. Based on the performance of the two teams’ offenses on Sunday, I guess we know the reason why.
Now if I can only get the TV guys to help me with my Chiefs games.

You'd think that when they designed & built the new FedEx Field, they would have factored in good sightlines for the TV cameras.

You have to hand it to Skins fans.
See what I did there?

Besides people in Cleveland and DC, who in their right mind would be watching this game?

This is what Danny Boy calls Partial Viewing.
Seriously, Snyder will sell you a ticket to a seat where you can only see half of the field, but the cost is Full Price.
