Okay. You and Joe take your sports commentary *way* more seriously than I ever have. :)
I see your point, but I think this is gonna be one of those "we'll have to agree to disagree" moments. If I know the broadcast is tape delayed, it wouldn't bother me a whit if the commentary was recorded live or not.

(for that matter, why is it odious even if it *is* obvious to the end user?) You have video of a sporting event and you audio of commentators adding play-by-play and color. As long as they arrive on your TV screen simultaneously, what difference would it make whether they were originally recorded at the same time? It shouldn't have any effect on the end user's experience whatsoever.
It is not odious if the "end user" (the home audience) knows the audio has been added later - in which case what they are watching is a highlight show. We get this every night on SportsCenter. When it is not obvious to the audience, and the telecast is being sold as coverage of a sports event, then it is deceptive and manipulative.
