Post Season Awards Coming Cliff’s Way
October 21, 2008Browns Suspend Kellen Winslow
October 21, 2008If you took the time to be a part of our open thread this past Sunday, you may have seen a few comments regarding the hands that continued to pop up at various points in the game – typically those times that were relatively crucial. Take, for instance, the point where I assumed Santana Moss was getting pushed out of bounds at about the three yard line yet somehow ended up in the end zone for six points? Yes…this is what we saw at home:
Now, in hindsight I am somewhat glad that this went down. It was almost like when your parents would cover your eyes during the ladder scene in Animal House – except this is something you really don’t want to see.
Dan Steinberg is the man behind these screen grabs, and has plenty more over at the Bog. The plays are all eerily similar to when we would watch games at Municipal Stadium – given the bevy of support beams that just happened to be between every section – you know, just without the winning final score. Extra bonus for the Pittsburgh/Cincy “salt in the wounds” along the ticker!

It’s nice they have fans who are willing run cameras for the network during the game.
CBS rocks!
First dozen fans have to run the cameras?
Dan Snyder makes the camera men pay to get in the stadium, consequently the cameras are in located in with the cheap seats. Hey they have to pay for those all those overblown contracts somehow.
You’d think the cameraman would have asked the guy to keep his hands down at some point in the game. Every time someone was close to the endzone we saw those hands.

I don’t think it should be the fan’s responsibility to keep his/her hands down. Stadium or Network officials ought to be able to figure out where to put cameras so they are unobstructed. They do it all around the country, so why shouldn’t that stadium be any different?
my confession:
My kids and I were running the cameras this past Sunday. I was invited by Ian Kitean and Rich Gannon.
I think that this is only the case in Washington’s stadium. It’s rather annoying, and whenever I’ve watched NFL highlights on “Sportscenter” the past several years, this always happens with Redskins home games. ALWAYS. I don’t know what it is. Washington blows. Just ask DeShawn.
