The Sport Thread

They haven’t stopped ‘now’. They used the international feed for their first live Super Bowl in 2008, they used the NBC feed - for John Madden - in 2009. Not sure whether they’ve used the US network feed since then, but they’ve used the international feed far more. You can have a preference but it’s not something that’s changed recently.

BBC taking the NBC feed - that should keep everyone happy!

Definitely. Al Michaels is one of the best NFL commentators in the business, and partnered alongside regular Football Night In America/Sunday Night Football partner Cris Collingsworth, should be good.

Moved across now ... Good call BBC Sport.

Oh dear, the new scorebar is giant. Dwarfed only by ESPN MNF. Does the nice trick of adapting to become the lower thirds (which ESPN UK’s rugby scorebar did nearly ten years ago).

God help us when they adapt it for rugby next time Premiership Rugby have a game in the States.

I wonder if it'll be adapted for soccer on NBCSN any time soon? They were still using the old style yesterday.

Whilst both the BBC and Sky are taking the NBC feed, the BBC have a version without the music into / out NBC ad breaks. Possibly to make it sound smoother?

I'm sure the BBC have had better stadium studios than this in the past?

They usually have stools but that's the only difference.

They were able to do that at the Wembley games too. You do miss the awesome Sunday Night Football theme, which is another John Williams composition.

Multiple attempts to kill the references to a certain cola flavoured drink by the BBC, which all failed

If you listen closely you can almost hear Justin Timberlake
