haljordan posted:Of course the useless ESPN affiliate here won't be carrying Dan LeBatard's show, why air something that people might listen to? Then again, this is the station that gave some shithead named Bruce Jacobs a job (at least today is his last day) and also just fired two guys for getting completely swindled by a fake Shane Spencer on air. ESPN 104.5 THE TEAM!!! gently caress YEAH!!! I can barely listen to my local ESPN radio station because everything is delayed 3 hours. I get Mike & Mike till like 10am and then Cowherd through lunch. It's hilarious though when you hear them speculating about poo poo that has already happened in real time but because of the time delay hasn't for them and they are hilariously wrong. So instead I listen to CBS sports radio and hear Jim Rome and Doug Gottlieb. But, since I'm in Arizona it's still better than the right wing poison on literally every other station.

Craptacular! posted:If you can take Outdoor Life Network, add an uncomfortable amount of cagefighting and hockey until you have to rename it "Versus", and then stick a peacock logo on it and make people suddenly accept it as a serious sports channel then FS1 shouldn't be having much of any problem. People associate the NBA with TNT of all channels, so recognition can be easily had. It helps that Inside the NBA on TNT is probably the single best sports program on TV too. I know people who don't even watch the NBA who will tune into it to watch Charles Barkley jabber about this and that. I know I set my DVR to record it when I can only watch parts of games. It really is that good.

OrangeKing posted:It's a pretty solid read. There are several Fischer movies, some of which are okay, some of which are bad, and one of which features him talking to the ghost of his dead father and goes on for like an hour too long. Theres a chess grandmaster that streams on Twitch.tv. It's really cool to watch him destroy multiple people at once and play games in less than a few minutes in some kind of weird super fast chess league while explaining his reasoning. He also posts stuff on youtube though he's been doing less streaming of late. I think his first name is Jerry

FuzzySkinner posted:It's just amazing how night and day better that whole crew is versus the ABC/ESPN crew. I actually thought Breen and JVG were pretty good together but the addition of Mark Jackson is just awful. The TNT crew is the best on TV. EJ I agree is underrated and when he gets snubbed for Bob loving Costas for those awards for best Host it's a travisty. I think the most surprising thing to me is how good Chris Webber is at announcing a game and also being on the TNT panel. He fits in way better than Shaq does. I know I'm in the minority but I also like Jalen Rose and Bill Simmons together. The ESPN panel of Bill Simmons, Sage Steele, and Jalen rose was pretty great to listen to too. Barkley is the star of it all even when he says stuff I disagree with. I am just glad I get to experience it twice a week. Also imo SAS should sponsor EJ one week.

Josh Lyman posted:What's the context for this? Did Garnett just lose a tough game? Does he just always deadpan his smack talk? I was trying to find the humor but it just seemed mean. Your Taint posted:I didn't see a problem with it. Seems like joking around between friends, or at least friendly acquaintances. Sager seemed like a guy with a good sense of humor and thought it was funny. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDB4hnFjJ-I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNBYeu18y8E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tY11De7h3BQ It was sort of a tradition to hate on Sagers suit. KG was one of Sagers best pals and they joke around in every interview. KG was iirc the very first person to call Sager when he heard the news and sent him a ton of flowers as a get well present. I think one of the reasons it might have come off mean is if you haven't watched the NBA much but watch a lot of football where it is so sanitized that there is no personality. Craig was probably the most beloved person in the NBA and KG is also a legendary trash talker. That suit was real bad though. Ramadu fucked around with this message at 15:51 on Dec 16, 2016 |

I feel so dirty for admitting this but I actually enjoy watching Around the Horn and I cannot adequately explain why. I guess I just enjoy Tony Reali? he seems to have the only good sports opinions at ESPN other than Lebatard.

https://deadspin.com/thunder-call-out-announcer-for-saying-russell-westbrook-1825225445 apparently the thunder realized it was bad quote:“We think obviously the use of that term was offensive and inappropriate, and I expressed that to Brian last night,” Mahoney said Thursday. “Brian assures me that it was not meant in any derogatory way, and he apologizes. But again, we feel strongly that it’s inappropriate and offensive.” sure am glad he's gonna have to apolo- quote:Mahoney said that they wouldn’t force him to apologize or address his comments on a future broadcast. “That’s really up to Brian,” he said. “Again, we’ve expressed to him strongly that it was offensive and inappropriate, and that’s all we can do for right now.” oh

MourningView posted:I'm almost never home to watch midday ESPN but pretty much everyone in the extended LeBatard crew is really good and fun and they've increasingly started building it mostly around them. Even Around the Horn, which used to be the dirt worst, has its moment now because it works people like Pablo, Bo, and Mina into the rotation a lot. If they could just dump all the old newspaper hot take guys from when the show started it'd probably be genuinely good. i like tony reali a lot even if hes like bill simmons and talks about the wire a lot

MourningView posted:There are still a couple broadcast teams without one and that's hosed up imo. Also Romo was almost immediately by far the best color guy so I'm all for them adding more recent players rather than old guys who are gonna harumph about Establishing The Run or whatever i think its more that the best color guys are the former players but once they are out of the league for 2 or 3 years they begin to suck rotate new retired dudes in
