DJExile posted:I think Joe is a lot more chill than some of his on-air persona would indicate. He seemed to loosen up quite a bit in the World Series when he didn't have someone as awful as Troy Aikman weighing him down, and I think he's finally clear of any real or perceived pressure to live up to his father. Buck is on the record as saying that he's done calling baseball the minute that part of his Fox contract is up, and he's probably not going to stick around with football too much longer after that. He's made more money than he could ever spend in his life, he got remarried to a Broncos cheerleader, he's talking about having another kid, he just seems to be in the same "whatever, I don't give a gently caress" stage that John Cena's in.

Ideally Katie Nolan partners with Greenie and then replaces him because Greenie is a wiener and Nolan is woke af.

I'm lying, I never turn to ESPN when games aren't on, but I would be less likely to ask my bartender to change the channel away from that show if I were out and they had it on the TV than I would most ESPN/Fox Sports shows.

I know that's not saying much, but its where the love for Mendoza comes from. She actually analyzes what a pitcher is trying to do and points interesting things out instead of spitting out tired cliches and stories about when she was a player.

Yeah Mendoza was doing her damndest to fit in a really awkward broadcast at the HR Derby (and i guarantee she couldn't hear poo poo in her headset, which is what led to her talking louder) but she's fantastic overall

No. Baseball isn't great when it comes to color commentators but there are still a lot of good ones. She's much better than Joe Morgan at least. Perhaps it's my dislike of 3 person booths (the Mets being the exception) and how ESPN does their baseball coverage. They seem to pick a topic that everyone talked about 6 months ago and beat it to death. Did you know Joe Maddon is quirky and drives an RV?

thoughjt I'd share some unusual places for announcers where we kinda least expect them Feel free to add . Kinda inspired by remembering that VIN SCULLY of all people called "The Catch"! So, here ya go: Vin Scully calling football https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAjvGFO3Ruc Keith Jackson calling auto racing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4DjDS3y1LE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQC5EDpxpsI Jim Lampley calling auto racing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwogfrMtQ84 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=re5Aci6sHW8& Verne Lundquist calling figure skating https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVmYSczTMpk Bob Varsha calling ice skating https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1ra2MMXLiE Paul Page calling the Nathan's Hot Dog eating contest https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhbPa5svx-M Al Michaels calling auto racing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLVL2oaTAbY& https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iqy4UxZeOqk Don Criqui calling auto racing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=By3RzE6vWDE Dick Enberg calling Wimbledon (I know, I know. He's the de facto voice of this in the US. But I so associate him with the NFL it's a mindfuck at times) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngZQv6nDo0w anyone else have any other weird ones?

Fox Sports embrace debate is not only not going away, they're doubling down and forcing them to cover the sports Fox has rights to. This is going to be the greatest trainwreck in the history of trainwrecks. I guess they're pissed off all they talk about is the NBA and NFL and I mean, if you're going to basically be ESPN lite, of course that's all you're going to talk about. http://awfulannouncing.com/fox/debate-shows-fox-cover-fs1-sports.html Also, James Miller was on Simmons' podcast. Haven't listened to it yet but It's James Miller so it'll rule.

It's pretty good in terms revealing how the executive is structured at espn and how big decisions are made. A lot of it tho is Simmons complaining about how no one listened to him and that many of their current problems would've been fixed if they just followed his insight. It also sounds like Bill is the worst employee ever. He basically said he complained constantly about bad leadership and routinely emailed the CEO with suggestions on why his friends need to be promoted.
