NBC continues to impress with its coverage, but I noticed one thing missing day after day: The faces of the announcers. Sure, the studio guys get plenty of face time, as do the sideline analysts, but where are the folks calling play by play? How many are doing it from New York? How many are doing it from some air-conditioned studio 10 miles away? And if they’re not on site, should it matter? This bugs the traditionalist in me who actually thinks that someone witnessing a sporting event in person will have insight and observations that you can’t get by watching a screen. On the other hand, maybe with all the new technology, maybe they are MORE equipped to tell the story by looking at it through a lens than with the naked eye. What do you think?
