I heard that they were gonna be having special online coverage for tonight's opening game, so I just had to sneak a peak.  My verdict: great concept, kinda sucky execution.

It's super cool to have 5 different angles on the game, and to be able to see them all at once.  Its also super cool to have the game stats at hand without having to leave the game.  Unfortunately the streams were extremely choppy which made it aggrivating to watch.  If they can straighten out the kinks, this thing could really rock.

One other thing that made me unable to watch it, though is kudos for the service, was the fact that the streams were a few seconds ahead of my cable HD of the show.  How is streaming 5 different angles of the game faster than one single feed through cable?  But I would catch what happened a few seconds earlier from the choppy low def stream, and it kind of diminish my viewing enjoyment of the HD version, so I turned it off. 

 If I was not in front of a TV, this would have been a life saver.  And once they work out the kinks, this will be an awesome thing.  I hope it's a sign of where football coverage is going.
