nash61 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I was thinking today (should be doing homework), but what are some ideas that had promise, but failed miserably? Here's one to start you off.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAqfSBEwJgE On September 20, 2012 at 0:50 AM, 'CS85 said: It's like watching the hellish undead creakily shuffling their way out of the flames of a liposuction clinic dumpster fire.

Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

Jimmy! Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 This one may not be as well known, and I'll be surprised at how many actually saw this. On Dec. 22, 1980, the Jets/Dolphins game was broadcast on NBC with no announcers. To date, it's the only NFL game broadcast without commentaries of any kind.

tBBP Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I originally wanted to say FoxTrax...but I actually liked the idea of the glowing puck. Someone should bring that back. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pianoknight Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I originally wanted to say FoxTrax...but I actually liked the idea of the glowing puck. Someone should bring that back.As a non-hockey fan, I remember the neon puck and I loved it. I don't really follow hockey that much, but the glowing puck made it easier to keep track of the action. I'm guess too many hardcore fans probably complained. Sometimes it catches on, like the Magic 1st Down Line in football. 5th in NAT. TITLES | 2nd in CONF.

To date, it's the only NFL game broadcast without commentaries of any kind.As someone was alive during it, I would not call it a failure. It was a one off idea. If there is not anyone is not willing to try, then the sport will not advance as a game or as a broadcast. As for something which was then a good concept, but had logistical issues and then shut down after a year was "The National" Sports Daily. Today, there is no use for a sports only, daily newspaper.

Also, one year (I forget when) RDS did it for Canadiens playoff games when their on air personalities were on strike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
