Of course, none of them realized how bad Carton’s gambling problem was until he didn’t show up for work on Sept. 6, 2017 because he’d been arrested by the FBI.

Awful Announcing posted:Once again, Keith Olbermann is gone from ESPN, but he’s not napalming any bridges this time. Olbermann has worked at ESPN on and off since 1989, joining the network full-time in 1992 and working there until 1997 before leaving for MSNBC, then spending time at Fox Sports Net. He wound up back with ABC Radio (in 2001) and ESPN Radio (in 2005), but was mostly working for MSNBC during that time, and continued his news and politics duties there even after adding a Football Night In America role with NBC in 2007. 4th departure if you count the ESPN Radio gig. He's doing a political commentary series on youtube

I had no idea he was even at ESPN again. Keith should not have been allowed to leave the year 2003.

I will admit there was a time in my life that I am not proud of where I found Keith's whole deal to be cathartic but that time is gone and he should be encased in amber along with everyone else who still has West Wing Brain and thinks "have you no decency, SIR" is the most devastating comeback you can make

John Canzano of the Oregonian has a fantastic retrospective on the absolute disaster that the Pac-12 network has been. A couple excerpts: quote:Because [at the 2018 conference championship] Scott had 170 employees on the payroll of the Pac-12 Network. He’s since laid off or furloughed the vast majority of them. If the Pac-12 is still a media company, it’s a hollow shell of an operation. One that isn’t currently scheduled to carry any of the conference football games this season. quote:We ought to back up right about here for context. Because when the Pac-12 launched the network leadership really didn’t know what it was doing. That’s become evident as I’ve talked with people involved in the launch.

Who moves up to become the A-Team? Kenny Albert is really on temporary loan from Fox during the playoffs.

Robnoxious posted:Who moves up to become the A-Team? Probably Kenny. In the previous years, it always seemed like Kenny was their second option, as he'd usually call the other set of games in the Conference Finals (Like, if Doc's crew was doing the Eastern Conference Finals, Kenny would do the Western). He's been doing NHL games since it was on Fox in the 90's, and with NBC since they got it 15~ years ago, but I wonder if he has a preference between being the lead NHL guy or part of Fox's second tier of NFL guys. He's likely the favorite to get the job and likely gets it if he wants it. Someone in the NHL thread suggested that John Forslund or Gord Miller might also be in consideration. IIRC, Forslund's been getting a bit more playoff games over the years and might be an outside shot, while Miller works for TSN in Canada and is I think an even longer shot. RIP David Strader.

Robnoxious posted:Who moves up to become the A-Team? John Forslund would be my pick and guess. Since he didn't get re-upped by Carolina (his home team), he basically was only working for NBC during the playoffs. He should have done all of the Finals games instead of Doc, considering the delay that was on every game Doc did. But, looking back, Doc probably told NBC "this is my last finals, just let me do it."

Gary's 72 years old and hasn't called the NHL in like 15 years. i think he subbed in for a couple games on some team's homer broadcast (LA maybe?) when the main guy was sick, but that ship has long sailed. He's on the Orioles TV call these days and seems to be enjoying it.
