  1. Yeah, stopped working at the start of the second half and never came back. I tried other games and other devices and no luck.

     

    Ok that's what happened with mine, very frustrating. Last weekend I couldn't get it working on chrome either.

  2. That's all well and good and I appreciate it but their analysis and coverage is awful. They treat the viewers like simpletons. They need new presenters and pundits. A nightly round up show that covers news and rumors would be ideal. And it should be easy to do. I'm sure that'd get higher ratings than the bicycle races they usually show at that time.

     

    Also with Fox, you'd get the saturday morning game, 10 am game and late kick off. With Fox Sports Plus you get a second 10am match. Then at 4, you'd get a tape delayed 10am game. Sunday you'd get all three games. if there's a game on Monday, you'd get that, too. So on a weekend out of 10 games, you'd have access to damn near nine games and they'd constantly be showing reruns throughout the week. I really miss that. On fox it felt like the Premier League was their franchise player where as on NBC, they're involved in so many other things, you only see football on when it's live.

     

    I do miss the reruns of the non-live games all weekend. I could spend my entire sunday hungover and watching as the games got progressively worse. Good times.

     

  3. Hopefully most Americans will put down their $5 dvd's and watch the league now: http://prosoccertalk.nbcsports.com/2015/08/10/nbc-sports-agrees-to-six-year-extension-as-exclusive-home-of-premier-league-in-the-us/?utm_network=twitter&utm_post=4055073&utm_source=TW%20%40NBCSportsSoccer&utm_tags=srm%5Bsoccer%2Carticle%5D

    Six more years on NBC, thankfully, distinctly the best Premier League broadcaster we've had.

     

    NBC is awesome. They've given us every bit of ability to see any game in the PL via the web through their site, their app on android, windows, iOS, and their TV coverage via NBC, NBCSN, Extratime or other NBC affiliated networks. We're lucky as f*** to have it.

     

    I feel like switching networks again would have set things back as well. Having it on a regular channel instead of switching every few years will help casual fans turn into regulars. That and more movies of Frodo punching Millwall fans.

  4. I hate it. HATE it! The fact we have access to every game is great but the actual coverage is awful. The analysis is so dumbed down. Arlo White is a disgrace. I hate that he gets all the big games. There's no good review shows like Fox would do with The Fox Soccer Report which would come on at 10pm every night and would give time to all the teams instead of going on about the top four every chance they get.  Those Canadians had journalistic integrity.

     

    What annoyed me most was when they initially got coverage and had some show called Pl Download. They treated it like this was the first time football was being broadcasted in America. They basicallysaid it was pointless supporting teams like Newcastle and Villa and were arse licking Man City and Chelsea. It's always about "when will Liverpool and Man Utd return to their perch?" And f*** everyone else. f*** Rebecca Lowe, too. She's just a pair of legs and nothing else. bobby McMahon was a fantastic pundit who was less concerned with lame jokes and more focused on talking football.

     

    Wow, I feel the opposite. Half of that is not having to give FOX money for watching my favorite sport, but I don't think the NBC is that bad. Some of the shows (premier league download and others) are made by the Premier League and forced into the package of any country that buys their rights. The obviously play up the rich clubs but so does the coverage in England and everywhere else. The only thing I liked about the FOX coverage was Warren Barton.
