SAN JOSE -- NBC Sports is demonstrating the highly interactive functionality of its online experience with Sunday Football. Much of this functionality will be part of NBC's Winter Olympics online presentation.
At Streaming Media West, we caught Bob Cowherd and Michael Moser of Vertigo, the San Francisco-based Interactive consultancy which has created the online experience for NBC Sports using the Silverlight software platform from Microsoft.
The football viewing experience is quite impressive. Viewers can watch in real time, selecting from various cameras. Viewers can shift to earlier plays, watching slow motion in a DVR-like experience.
The NFL provides just the Sunday Football game free online. Tonight (11/29) at 8 p.m. ET, try to catch the Steelers vs. the Ravens. The stream is only available during the game. (Just in the U.S.)
Earlier this month, we spoke with the NFL's Laura Goldberg about the the league's digital strategy. Last month we spoke with Microsoft's Brian Goldfarb about Silverlight.

Hi,
am a huge Jets fan and have been following the Jets since childhood. The Superbowl is next and many sports blog.
Go Jets!
The New York Jets are the greatest team in the NFL and Rex Ryan rocks! The Colts cannot compete with the Jets this season. I am a huge Jets fan and have been following the Jets since childhood. The Superbowl is next and many sports blogs listed at online sports site Dozensports.com are saying the Jets time has come. Bring it on!
I am a big online sports betting fan and just wanted to say that I love your site. Keep the online sports action coming in 2010!
Totally cool article! I agree. And could someone PLEASE tell the NBC to cut down the commentator's army to ONE only?! They were actually sitting there with FOUR PEOPLE and commented all through the programms!(like the men's) Respect for Dick Button, but I do not thnk that former skater ever jumped more than double, the most, is at all! But how he is ripping those people apart is no fun to watch and hear. It is also no fun to watch the contest, trying to listen to the interpretation of music, when ALL of these guys are talking it down and dead! I don't know who had such a hidious idea, but it does not work! PLEASE shut the F*** up when someone is trying to perform! I am jelling at my TV - at the reporters to make them silent - at least for the minutes the skaters "talk" with their program and performance! And I still prefer the skaters "talk"!
your blog's layout is so nice ,and the theme impressed me a lot.
