During the NFL preseason NBC introduced a new feature for their broadcasts that they hoped would revolutionize the way people watch football called the ‘Green Zone”.
The Green Zone is used on third downs and is meant to show viewers how far a team has to go to get a first down.

The Green zone was overwhelmingly panned during the preseason and was once again crushed during the NFL’s season opener on tonight
The Green Zone is NBC's worst unnecessary green-related idea since Greenzo. pic.twitter.com/o89cgfNnt2

The Green Zone is obviously and truly the *DUMBEST* "idea" ever taken to the public. But I'm here to say 🗣PUCK TRACKER WAS SWEET AS HECK AND ITS ONLY CRIME WAS BEING AHEAD OF ITS TIME🗣 pic.twitter.com/cpw8T03yo5

i like nbc’s green zone thing. then again i also liked fox’s glowing puck thing and i think it’s good that the al and nl have different designated hitter rules. and i kind of like beefamato, the drink that’s basically just tomato juice and beef broth. and i think coldplay is good

Green zone is the most unnecessary viewing feature since CBS hiring kicking expert jay feely to talk about wind
