I was at the game Sat night listening to the broadcast (which was delayed a little bit). I can't count the number of times they announced the wrong Patriots Player making a play. I personally think that BCN's pre game show is horrible (won't listen) and after a stellar career as a game announcing duo Gil and Gino are really screwing up.

Awesome....thanks Pats1.

Such an easy solution.....just pause TiVO or your Comcast DVR until I syncronize Gil & Gino. Duh.....Of course if the radio is ahead of the broadcast, that won't work - then I will need to invest in a radio system of some sort that I can pause and do it that way.

Sometimes I wonder if the TV does it on purpose because sponsors are paying for visual as well as audio in their advertisements so the network is trying to force more people to listen to the TV broadcast.

I think it's also the radio feed itself. I'm a season ticket holder and use a walkman-style personal radio for Gino and Gill. They used to be totally in-sync with the live action (as it should be), but the past couple of years there usually is slight delay. The Monday Night games are the worse, sometimes 10-15 seconds. That's where I lose the radio....

With "terrestrial" radio yes, there is a delay problem with the tv because of the satellite feed. If I listen on Sirius and watch the game it's almost in-sync.

The tv guys do suck.
