I'd pay to get a feed *without* any damn announcers, and instead a 5.1 surround mix of ambient sound.
2. Do players celebrate *everything* they do? A routine tackle, guy pumps his fist. And if someone scores a touchdown, does it really have to go on and on bleeding over into the sidelines for the next 5 plays or so?
3. Superimposed graphics. I'll admit that the first down line was kinda cool. But now "1st and ten" in a big arrow superimposed on the turf? How long before sponsor logos are put there as well? Or maybe they already are and I missed it.

Spot-on, IMO.
1) I don't care about stats. I don't care about which team "came to play the game today". I don't care if the cart is in front of the horse or the horse is in front of the cart or the cart got loaded too soon (John Madden reference). I don't care about the gross over-analysis of every butterfly fart on the field. Just tell me what is happening and shut up when you don't have anything to say that is not reporting what just happened.
2) Much like the Hollywood set, football players are surrounded by an entourage of leaches that constantly telling them how great they are. They have bought into it an must constantly celebrate their greatness.
3) I HATE most of the graphics. I hate the stupid jumping robotic football player. I hate the lights telling me what quarter it is. Displays should be intuitive--not fancy and distracting.
