There's a ton of effort that goes into it and everybody involved is very good and very fast at what they do. And while all sports broadcasts these days are good, the NFL in particular really pushes the boundaries. This weekend, when the Bears returned a kickoff received from the Saints, the Skycam operators nailed the shot:
