Henchman of Santa posted:CBB has it every four minutes. The NBA seems like it's almost random. They might just have it for national games. Yeah I'm guessing TNT and ESPN probably run it different than some of the regional networks. The NHL seems to do media timeouts at set times regardless of the broadcast.

Alright, basketball timeouts, according to Wikipedia: -College men: first dead ball every 4 minutes. Also some weirdness with a team timeout being taken 30 seconds before the timeout time (like say a team calls a timeout at 8:28, there will be no 8 minute timeout). -FIBA/College women: first dead ball after 5 minutes in the quarter (10 minute quarters) or first team timeout. -Pros: First dead ball after 6 and 3 minutes left each quarter, and 9 minutes left in the 2nd and 4th. Any full timeouts replace the TV timeout. Hockey: usually after 14, 10, and 6 minutes left in a period, but not after icing, goals, or during a power play. They also added in a timeout in post-season OT (after midway through), thank gods. I still think baseball has the best timing for timeouts, because they're at intervals that make sense. iospace fucked around with this message at 16:32 on Dec 27, 2016 |

Yeah integrating timeouts a team takes helped the pace of basketball games a ton. Goddamn I want to like basketball more than I do but the pace of the last 2 minutes of big games is just maddening. E: and yeah baseball makes sense but it's also not a timed event like the others. DJExile fucked around with this message at 16:44 on Dec 27, 2016 |

Formula 1, the Indy 500 when Gordon Smiley died, the infamous womens' 3000 meters in the 84 Olympics when Mary Decker fell with 3 laps to go, and even some PPV boxing.. It's really neat. He anchored the Indy 500 pre-race/post-race from 1999-2001 too

The playoff timeout is natural because they clean the ice at the 10 minute mark of every OT period (and 14, 10, and 6 minute marks of regular periods). This may be an unpopular opinion, but I wouldn't mind if they did it after 14 and 6 in OT because the ice is loving awful at that point. It's not a huge deal though.

The NFL is in its own universe in terms of commercials. Its quite a despicable league and I cant even really watch it anymore. The NBA does well even with the last two minutes I think? It's not oppressive.

Especially in the tournament? I don't seem to remember NBA playoff games coming down to "welp we're down 10 with 3 minutes to go, better start fouling". But maybe I don't watch enough to notice.

It's suggested that it's Jim Rome who is replacing Goldberg. As to why you'd do that I have no idea. Goldberg is great and pretty iconic when it comes to this sport?

And the general action. It was like he skimmed a few quick facts when he was hired and never really bothered to learn much about the very sport/promotion he broadcasted beyond that. He was basically the anti-Teddy Atlas.

No. No he's not that good." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsiD_GDFY-M the part where he's talking about how great BJ Penn is, and Joe is so in agreement and so tuned in and intense about what he's saying, and goldy's stupid mushmouth can't even say prodigy

Rome was oddly the only guy I respect on the NFL on CBS pregame show. The other guys come across as amateurs at the "chuckle hut", but Rome seems to take the gig somewhat seriously. He's actually a drat good interviewer to boot.
