Yes it is very predictable, you can usually predict the in studio patter for the better part of the broadcast. Although aren't many sports in studio presentations on Sky like that? Rugby League certainly is, football and golf seem to rotate the same in studio hosts and guests.
I cannot see Sky with their ever decreasing budget on anything apart from Premier League, throwing much money or imagination at it. I'm certain the still look upon NFL as a fringe/minority sport, therefore it is low in their pecking order. I read somewhere that Thierry Henry is on a £4 million a year deal with Sky as their highest paid pundit, just imagine what they could do to their NFL programming if they threw that sort of salaries at it!
I expect that whatever Sky do, it will be on the cheap and/or lacking imagination. They seem to think it is just good enough nowadays to have the rights, well i personally think that is a lazy attitude and that is why coverage goes stale after a while.
Maybe they might drag Halling back away from the boxing, especially after that bore from the weekend. Lol
