It was ok at best. CBS did better job. Man the way they went on about Carson Palmer I thought they only thing they needed was a camera up his a@#!!! Having four guys at the haft is also over kill. But dose any one do a better job then Fox? So what did you think?

I got annoyed by all the talk about Palmer. However, they're in the entertainment business and that was the "sexiest" story with the broadest appeal that they had to work with. They never really cover the preseason games all that well.

I think it would be better if they had a hot sideline reporter, instead of that lady who looked really old. As for all the Carson Palmer coverage, it reminded me of that Bang Cartoon where Madden and Michaels analyzed Michael Vick taking a dump.

I liked it much better when the local network did the games with Bostic ad Riggins. It's good to note you took notice of all the talk about Carson Palmer because I was thinking the exact same thing. We had a player on the ground, injured, for more than a reasonable amount of time with no concern for the player, all the talk was about Palmer. I found it quite irratating, but I realized they were networking in Cincinatti.

With Favre on the verge of hanging it up, who else are they going to talk about?
It was pretty sickening though, when Clemons was down and they used that injury as a segue to talk about Palmer again. Good Christ, we're playing a football game here guys, in case you didn't notice...

Yeah the preseason games ussually get alot more of that "sexy fluff" because lets be honest, if it wasent the Redskins playing tonight, would any of us really have cared about anything going on after the 1st quarter? Even late into the game outside of the performance of a few people, I was kinda like "whatever" for the REDSKINS. Preseason is Preseason, so they try to jam whatever will matter once the regular season starts into the shows.

can anyone say bonnie bernstein or suzy colber? oh la la
I thought the coverage was fair overall. The Palmer talk did get a little sickening after a while, but like some already said what else where they going to talk about? It's obviously a big storyline this preseason.

I thought the coverage was good. The Palmer story was overdone, but hell its preseason and the play on the field was shotty at best.

how many times did madden say, "see that is what Carson is going to have to get use to"
I think the skins got more interesting story lines then Palmer
