Am I the Only One Who Noticed…

For those who have no interest in those other, lame, sports: 0:37 for the pool.
Actually the cue ball is the one that becomes smaller over time.
Don't forget the stupid pink 4 purple 5 thing either. If all I ever watched was MR I would probably get used to it but since MR is only 10-20% of what I watch I am always forced to correct myself and think about the next balls when the player is on the 3. As a viewer I shouldn't be required to think that hard just to follow a game.Agreed. I watched some of the recent US Open matches as I was sweating bets I had on them. Past that, I’m just not interested anymore, MR has ruined it for me. Substandard tables at the majority of their events, grey cloth, funky colored balls and rule changes.
Also as you mentioned, commentary as well. I actually really liked JJ and Scott Frost when they started with Accustats, both very knowledgeable with good insights. Sadly as they have come under the employ of MR they seem to have forgotten pool terminology and comment in Snooker terminology exclusively, kissing their new bosses asses I suppose. Then there’s that Phil Yates clown, I don’t know how he got a job, must be someone’s nephew. All in all, MR’s attempts to attract a viewing audience has alienated me. I miss Accustats.
