I noticed that the graphics are distorted while watching football. It's like an over compressed jpeg, is this a TV problem or are they compressing the graphics?

This seems like more appropriate use of the "RANT" prefix. I'm holding OP hostage with a negative rep until he fixes the prefix!

Well I'm holding YOU hostage with a negative reaction! The bad news is that I'll likely forget I did this so it'll probably stick. Hmmm.... maybe I should undue that now. But that reaction button is so far away and I'm really lazy. Oh well. It is what it is

Heck of a game. Seems like the officials were trying to keep it close at the end.

It was a great game. Philip Rivers is better then I thought. I figured the chiefs would win. What a shocker!

Live events are more difficult for broadcasters to compress. They don't have the benefit of multi-pass encoding to reduce the appearance of compression artifacts.

He was only talking about the graphics, which is an overlay. I'm betting they just didn't give a flying F about how they looked, or they had trouble with the graphics back end and not smart enough to fix it. A lot of football this season had terrible graphics.

It was a darn good game. Going down to the wire, then going for the win.

I understand the rules/player safety stuff but heck some of the calls were just atrocious. I like how Aikman said after a bad called penalty "You know I don't like how these 3 and 10 to go advance" and that basically sums up most of my feelings whenever I watch a game.
