Yeah, other teams announcers can be annoying. I can't imagine apposing fans
having to listen to my favorite Tommy :>)

I tried listening on radio and watching on tv but the radio delay will
interfere. Most games I mute in and out of because of all the
hype...especially in football....to much info overload with 3 announcers
blaring away....

My package doesn't renew automatically.
