Default Dmc...

It is interesting that you write about this because I was just speaking to Reg. Rutledge about this not so long ago when I told him that our league needed to spend out on the type of camers that the news reporters have when they are reporting live coverage. The quality of the video is extremely important. Obviously if we were on TV they would have their own cameras but its important to put together a high quality piece to send to the networks along with a press release that would generate interest. This is what I think would have to happen...

1. Obviously some rule tweaking that would appeal to the television audience

2. A Reg. Rutledge production. I mean stadiums, player intros, the national anthem with the Tennessee Band, Smoke coming out of the tunnel, the blimp, penalties and injuries, commentators, press conferences, etc. (No one does it better)

3. It would have to be recorded then obviously edited and collaged together for TV. We all know our events cannot go on live. Lol. It would also cut down the amount of actual TV time it takes.

4. We also have to get every EFLer in the US and abroad and their family and friends on their coaches tunning in. We need ratings!

5. I hate to say this but 2 highly skilled coaches, playing at a very high level where execution is at a premium. We can't have these figures running around in circles at this thing. Lots of strategies and schemes, plays must be executed.

I'm sure there is more but that's the just of it. It could happen!
