I absolutely hate the megacast Film Room showing of the national championship game … watching people, watch and talk about the game — What a waste! unfortunately, I recorded the first half of the game to get rid of commercials, I’ll change back during the second half.
The ESPN Megacast of the 2016NCAA College Football National Championship was the worst broadcast of a sporting event I’ve ever seen. Unless you have attention deficit disorder it was virtually unwatchable. I felt like I was in a carnival fun house watching a program directed by someone on LSD. Worst idea in the history of TV sports. Never again for me.
