Having Your Cake, And Eating It Too…Live, But With Instant Replay
After posting the story yesterday on the anniversary of the first Instant Replay, there were some comments on how naked a game would be without what we’ve all become accustomed to. As I read those and thought about how much fans at the game miss, this great photo from or friend Craig Harper came to mind.
This is Saturday’s game between Baylor and Texas Tech at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas…where the Cowboys play. Now THIS is how to really enjoy a football game. By the way, Baylor won. Enjoy and share! -Bobby Ellerbee
I remember before the days of instant replay, how cameras would shoot the huddles, but the audio was delayed a couple seconds, as you would hear the players clap in unison, and yell ‘break!’
Completely expected things to evolve to this. We’ve come to the point where we’re not producing and televising a sporting event anymore, It’s a live video game.
So has anyone ever been to a game in Jerry’s world? I have done a few, but spent my time in the parking lot in a truck. I would think that damn screen is so big and so central you tend to watch the screen rather than the real action. My guess is the experience is like going to a film, where you get the crowd reaction to what is happening on screen and not so much like going to a sporting event.
