Right... but the fact remains that this delay is about 10 seconds... and it 
only started happening pretty recently. It's quite consistent, also, even 
across different broadcast sources: ESPN, YES, and Channel 9 in NY. All, always 
about 10 seconds "behind" the radio. Even if the delay *is* varying +/- 2 
seconds, that still means it's 8-12 seconds "behind" the radio. That is a lot!
