Sports Machine pre-dated NFL Primetime when it came to NFL weekend highlights but George always added a bit of the silly with the show, especially wrasslin and rodeo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECgqC6s3xd0 George Michael once gave a shout out to my local affiliate too

joshtothemaxx posted:The best recap show is Match of the Day because it's nothing but highlights with maybe some analysis after showing 5-10 minutes of highlights for each of the 7-10 games. this is all true, but Match Of The Day 2 on Sunday's is starting to veer down hot taek territory. Another thing to bear in mind is there is a complete black out on highlights until 8pm on a Saturday (when Sky rerun an entire game from earlier in the day) and in most cases not until 10pm when Match Of the Day starts and Sky do their Match Choice thing

This conversation just reminds me that ESPN pulled the footage of the Very Windy Bears Game off of YouTube and now it's gone forever. What a tragedy.

Dude on Sportscenter talking about Giselle at the opening ceremony just said (without any sense that it was a joke): "If there were a gold medal for walking, I know who would get it."

I get that if you don't have the Olympics, then you don't have much at all to show at this time of year, but ESPN is going to do a loving 28 hour marathon of fantasy football across all their platforms

To be fair it's not like this will be any different from about 90% of ESPN's programming anyway.

This is way too much but on the other hand my friends+family league is the only real reason I follow the NFL anymoreMourningView posted:There are very few things I'd like to watch less but I'm betting it does pretty solid numbers for them Doesn't it say in the article that their other fantasy centric programming doesn't do very well? People only care about their own league, I find it hard to believe they're going to tune into a celebrity draft.

Serious, non-trolling question: With Ed Bradley, Stuart Scott and now John Saunders gone, who's the standard for black broadcast journalism? Please don't say Don Lemon.

davecrazy posted:Bryant Gumbel? You're probably right, I don't have HBO so I don't see his work, hence why I didn't think of him. The other ones that come to mind are Greg Gumbel, James Brown and Curt Menefee, but it's hard to call hosting an NFL pregame show "journalism". I thought of Tavis Smiley but I'm not familiar with his work either. I refuse to list Stephen A.

I remember John Saunders from when I was first really starting to get into CFB. ABC's coverage pre-ESPN take over was superb, and he was consistently great as a studio host. This loving sucks
