I'm surprised no one has mentioned the great revelation of the first two rounds: free, live streaming video of the games! How wonderful was it be freed from CBS's determination of which game we should watch? I completely agree with everyone about the greatness of CBS's conservative coverage, EXCEPT when it comes to switching among the games when it gets down to crunch time.
During Friday's late games, I once again had the image of CBS managing this critical task by giving a senile grandpa a remote control. I was watching the games at a bar, and can’t recall which games it was. But several times we threw peanuts at the plasma screen when they interrupted an play in a fairly close game with 3 or 5 minutes to go, and jumped to time-out huddles where the whole country knew the trailing team was going to foul as soon as the ball was inbounded.
I can just hear grandpa saying "well, hold on now, we don't want miss the inbound. Now where is that confounded quick-view button . . . ."
