Here in Kansas City, as readers of the party report I will be posting shortly will know, we didn't see the pre-match festivities. So I can't comment too much on the coverage.

However, as the game went on, we came to realize that Fox had heavily front loaded the commercial coverage. This meant we missed a lot of action early on, but late in the game there were not a lot of commercials. Alas, by this time we were primarily interested in seeing who would win the "pick the margin" pool (I personally needed five of the 21 behinds to be major scores) -- but had it been a close game, I would have been thankful.
Was it well done coverage? NO. But was it as bad as it looked like it would be in the early going? NO.
