If we're talking about "old early Sunday morning ESPN shows we miss", NFL Matchup is/was the poo poo.

Yea it was called Ringside and the episodes would be like 4 hours and they would show fights of the person and then talk in between. I have a DVD they sold of the Tyson one.

His sports columns are usually passable if schmaltzy, but his commentary on everything else is astonishingly bad and his writing is frankly appalling. You should see the excerpt from his newest novel.

ESPN is going to ultimately replace Sports Reporters with a sunday E:60 hosted by Bob Ley and Jeremy Schapp E: This will nix Sunday's OTL, but they'll still run that on weekdays.

Vertical Lime posted:i remember when that nfl matchup show was on monday nights as part of the buildup to the monday night game I don't particularly like or dislike Erin Andrews, but Jesus Christ hasn't this woman been through enough? She already deals with the everyday torture that comes along with being a woman in sports, AND she had to deal with a creepy stalker that videotaped her naked in a hotel room on more than one occasion in two different cities. Now loving cancer. At least she won $55 million from that lawsuit.

Jeez that sucks And yeah Erin's been through more than enough. Crossposting from NHL thread, There's a great oral history in SBD of the glow puck experiment from Fox's NHL coverage in the 90s VINCE WLADIKA, Senior VP of Media Relations, Fox Sports posted:Two days before the All-Star Game, we had an event at the Fleet Center. We brought in the Bruins minor league hockey team from Providence and had them do an on-ice demonstration. We had Doc Emrick host it. We had both TVs set up in front of the media, as well as the big video board over the ice. Somebody flipped a switch. The first thing I remember was hearing [New York Post columnist] Phil Mushnick go, “Wow!” At that point I said, alright. That’s good because there was Mr. Grumpy going, Wow! He actually wrote a column: “This puck’s for you.”

No media person ever stuck around college games longer, because people wanted to take pictures with her, and she stayed for every weeping girl who stayed to try to meet her.

There was one particular college basketball game that made me think this but I have no idea how to search for the video. Also she handled the Richard Sherman going crazy interview pretty well.

Yeah true with both of those on reflection, maybe I should have said the first time I thought it? Or the first time I noticed it at least. It seems really rare though, I mean there are like 800 people who do that job and most of them add nothing of interest at all to a broadcast.

In their defense, 97% of sideline interviews are easily forgettable when coaches or players keep spewing the same clichéd bullshit. That's why the Richard Sherman interview was so great and refreshing.

Mostly because they had done pretty much anyone relevant they had the rights to fight footage for.

If there's an injury on the field its their job to go over and get an update on the player's status. If there's some other kind of development on or near the field they probably have to be on top of that too. It doesn't make the broadcast more exciting but its stuff we've become accustomed to getting and they have to put in the legwork to get it.

Dana White never bothered to tell Mike Goldberg they were letting him go, and apparently Mike didn't get to make any sort of goodbye/thanks statement at the end of UFC 207.

So we can explain to our other friends (I say this as someone who legitimately doesn't know why) Ramadu posted:https://sportfacts.org/nfl-redzone-saved-viewers-from-35-hours-of-commercials-this-season/ At least one of the owners realizes that it's a problem. Two if you count the majority of Packer owners too.

The NFL will probably look at the problem and instead of streamlining the games they'll dump RedZone channel.
