It would be quite simple to broadcast soccer in a very effective format that alternated between wide shots and tight shots. Broadcasting American football poses many of the same problems. Hockey and basketball production techniques are also relevant. However, broadcasting soccer would require a

Re: OT: woo hoo Texas wins!

Yes, English soccer is exciting. Not only do you have the action of the game, but you have the excitement of a potential attack at the hands of the other team's fans. It's twice the fun. On Jan 5, 2006, at 5:40 AM, John Forbes wrote: For some inexplicable reason, they didn't consider cricket.

For some inexplicable reason, they didn't consider cricket. Or perhaps they did, and could detect no perceptible movement in the excitometer. And I presume they didn't count the cheer-leader interludes in American Football either. That might have raised the score a bit. John On Thu, 05 J
