@YouTubeTV - Please stop giving away results of Olympic events in recap titles. i.e. (volleyball) “Team USA falls to China”. You’re ruining it for those who have to watch on a delay for whatever reason. Please consider neutral language- “Recap of nail biter between USA & China”

[Barry Young @byoung39]

@NBCOlympics - production team for beach volleyball. Please use less of the floating cams. It’s more artistic, but much harder to follow the points and see spacing- what’s actually happening in the match.

[Barry Young @byoung39]

FOR EXAMPLE- we could barely see the game clinching touchdown in the Dolphins game because you cut to split screen. All of the replays were small. The time I want to be celebrating and focused on my team was screwed up because you split screen. Why? Just let us watch our game

[Barry Young @byoung39]

@ESPNNFL PLEASE go away from the split screen during the MNF game. It’s killing our individual game experience.

This video of Rich Eisen summarizing Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel’s heartfelt soliloquy on Tua Tagovailoa in a production meeting is everything.

@NBA I am SO EXCITED about the beginning of the finals- until that H.E.R. song begins. Most un-inspiring theme songs for a pro sports event ever. I just can’t believe it is still be used throughout the playoffs. Total bust

[Barry Young @byoung39]

@ShannonSharpe Facts- Tua is 13-1 in last 14 games started and finished. Half+ of those are Pre-Tyreek. Via Travis Wingfield, he’s 1st in Passer Rating, QBR, yards per attempt, touchdown %, and net yards/play. 3rd completion %. 4th INTs. If he’s not in MVP consideration, you’re just hating.

[Barry Young @byoung39]

@NBAonTNT Pregame discussion for Tuesday. Doncic is incredible. Leading the team in points, rebounds, assists, and steals. Yet, his +/- over 3 games is -61. Negative 61! How can he be such a dominant force and have that personal +/-? This is the reason they are 0-3. Agree?

[Barry Young @byoung39]

#CenterCourt -Could you discuss this about MVP? I could argue that the MAIN, if not THE ONLY factor in deciding league MVP is +/-. I mean- if over the course of the season you help your team by increasing the point gap the most (offense AND defense), isn’t that the best measure?

[Barry Young @byoung39]

@NBATV - please stop using the court side cam for live shots. You just can’t see what’s happening in the game. What’s the benefit? You can see less of everything. It doesn’t feel like being at the game- at all. It’s ok for mediocre replays, but please not for live coverage.

[Barry Young @byoung39]

@NBCOlympics Production crew- PLEASE use less surface level and spider cam shots for live beach volleyball. Those shots are great for replays, but you can’t tell what’s happening in the point with angles, the ball, & players. We want to be able to see what’s happening in the play

[Barry Young @byoung39]

@ESPNNBA - for production team: please use floor height cameras for more highlights and less real time action. You can’t see what the players are doing as a team. It’s really a poor experience for people watching who understand the game of basketball.

[Barry Young @byoung39]

@ESPNNBA We watch basketball to see what is happening in the game, not to watch virtual fans. That court side cam is ok every once in awhile or on replays, but PLEASE spend less live game time on it. We just can’t tell what is really happening in the game. Isn’t that the point?

[Barry Young @byoung39]

@MarkJackson13 Why doesn’t anyone talk about how often James Harden steps illegally across the foul line on HIS foul shots so often? His foot hits the floor before his shot hits the rim often. They never call it. Why?

[Barry Young @byoung39]

@GetUpESPN How do you expect athletes to focus for 3 hours if you don’t expect that during meetings? It’s not easy to reprogram your brain, but pros can... they NEED to. That’s part of being a pro.

[Barry Young @byoung39]

@espn On NCAA basketball- please stop using the spider cam so much for live basketball. It’s disorienting with the float and you can’t see what’s going on as you lose detail with the wide angle lens. It’s just not good if you want to see what’s happening in basketball

[Barry Young @byoung39]

@NBATV example? Q1. Discussion of Flagrant 1 against Cousins. Do they not know the rules at all? This was a PRIME example of a Flagrant 1 under current rules.

[Barry Young @byoung39]

@NBATV - please reconsider these player only and “game night Monday” approaches. It’s just not pleasant to listen to. They continue to miss-call things. Occasional player insight is great, but a whole game of it is painful. Give us true announcers with a player to add insight.

[Barry Young @byoung39]

@NBATV - please get rid of the Players Only broadcasts- or offer them as a second option. Listening to them ramble on and chit chat makes me not want to watch my favorite team. It’s just boring from a broadcasting point.

[Barry Young @byoung39]

@gmfb production- why an inconsistent floating camera shot of a wall with a sectioned TV with reflections all over it? We’d rather have the direct feed for the highlight. You’re making it harder to see and very distracting. #poorproduction
