But as a consumer its not my job to worry about challenges, I just make sure my expectations are realistic. There should be challenges in making millions of dollars.

It's a double edged sword with emotion. If there isn't enough, people complain that there is no emotion and it's boring. If there is emotion, people complain about them getting too excited at certain things.

I'm still very hesitant to even judge the commentary based on the fact that we've still only heard about a minute of legitimate commentary.

I don't know if you guys just haven't heard the commentary in the podcast or what, but the strength of it by far was Phil's analysis of the plays after they happen. There's no dead air in the podcast commentary, and in the last clip you can hear it go from one play to the next, not one second of dead air.

I dont think too many people would be upset with emotion on fumbles,touchdowns, long first downs and first downs late in the 4th quarter of close games, spectacular catch animations, sacks, break a ways, long runs and big hits.

I noticed a lack of emotion in the video of the older build (phi vs dal) but in the new clips from the podcast I thought the emotion was where it should be.

And we've only heard current clips for what? A couple first downs, a sack and team intro clip? It's impossible to determine whether or not there's not enough or enough emotion in M13 commentary yet.

I was agreeing with you, hence why I said there are challenges with any and everything -- also why I thought it's not really worth debating.

And you're right, it's not your job to worry about that stuff.

Well, since you're in here Chase -- bring back the radio guy -- I loved hearing him while surfing thru my dynasty looking at stats or something.
