Awful Announcing posted:Ian Eagle has been with CBS since 1998, and according to Andrew Marchand of the New York Post, Eagle will remain with the Tiffany Network for many years to come. Marchand writes that Eagle has signed a long-term deal with the network that keeps him there for the foreseeable future. According to Marchand, CBS keeps Eagle as insurance in case things with NFL/PGA/NCAA Tournament lead announcer Jim Nantz go south.

Ian Eagle is great, good for him. He's probably one of the hardest working and busiest broadcasters in the business. I can't find the story but a few years ago someone did a story on his weekly schedule and the number of flights he had to take to cover a bunch of different sporting events in a 7 day period and it was completely insane.

Yeah he's basically the CBS version of Kenny Albert. He's called drat near everything and is very good at all of them.

Was expecting “as there’s a drive into left by Castellanos” in the middle of that description. As a Reds fan, I’m excited to have someone new but I’ve never heard of the guy.

Edward Mass posted:I'm trying to figure where 30 for 30 jumped the shark, and I think it started with Volume III in 2015. Honestly I thought even volume II was very scattershot. The issue is there is an infinite number of stories to be told about sports but what was special about the initial run to me of 30 for 30 was directors who were passionate about their given subject. And in Volume 1 not all of them worked either. But by Volume 3 it felt like a conveyor belt of stories that weren't particularly interesting for the most part. What I would like to see about all documentaries, not just sports, is LESS perfunctory docs and more quality. An easy complaint to make from my computer but when we know the highest highs (OJ Made In America) its hard not to want more quality and less random poo poo like I Hate Christian Laettner which should have been a lot better than it is. My favorite ones are almost all from Series 1 still. The U, June 17th, 1994, Pony Excess, The Two Escobars, and Hillsborough are probably my favorites. soggybagel fucked around with this message at 20:51 on Feb 5, 2021 |

A while back, either ESPN or NFL Films/Network did a(nother) documentary on Vince Lombardi, and for part of it they used an impersonator to deliver do a lot of his quotes. They mostly filmed him from behind or silhouetted to obscure the face. Al Davis vs the NFL was basically the 2021 version of that same thing, and the results were similarly mixed. I liked the underlying story behind it, but the deep fake stuff felt like a gimmick that could have easily been left out.

30 for 30 was scattershot even in the first volume. As a whole, I think Volume 2 is the weakest.

the first batch of 30 for 30s were absolute bangers, even the duds. The UFL one was bad but for me the nadir was the weird guy trying to get the Naismith rules back to Kansas, that guy was a total dweeb.

The one about the Gretzky trade was the very first one and it sucks so yeah they were pretty inconsistent right from the start. I would say they've definitely become a lot more formulaic over time though, they tend to be a lot closer to the generic HBO sports docs than they used to be

Yes. However, he wasn’t fired after that and was just one of the companies spokesman for their mental health day. To me that means he might of had some issues and wasn’t harassing her for fun.
