I'd like to know how many people are streaming this. How bad are they failing?  

 They are trash.

They have the NFL Xmas game too. They better get their shit together for that one. 

 Curiously, I tried to stream something else on their service and it's fine.  It's just the live servers that are frying. 

 *server

It's a Pentium 2 with a voodoo fx GPU.

They have an ISDN line and a 56k backup in case. 

 My thoughts are they are in damage control . The announcers are acting tame and won’t be loose like the wild live roast of Tom Brady .

The responses feel a bit canned and forced and the cringe vibe of the production quality
