commy gun posted:Buck and Aikman are loud and annoying but at least they don't lull me to sleep. Nantz and Simms are the worst. My favorite Thom Brennamoment ever was last year when he was calling a Rangers/Reds game. IIRC the game was tied with a man on first and the Reds hitter hosed up his first two bunt attempts so the Reds let him swing with two strikes. Dude then hits a dinger but Brennaman spent the whole rest of the game bitching about that guy not being able to get that bunt down.

Wasn't Berman at the US Open more like the home base/MC type guy and they let Tirico do the hole-to-hole PBP?

This NLCS sabermetric simulcast is terrible. The game is permanently spiltscreened with analysts staring at their TV.

Webber is really good at talking about basketball and actually explaining in real words why this or that happened. Instead of relying on lovely cliches that can be applied to any situation. He's my favorite nba tv talky person.

Thom Brennaman (and his dad) are the most grit hustle announcers ever. What you just described is a regular thing and it doesn't help that the Reds have been terrible at bunting for pretty much forever. Both father and son will bitch about a player not running out a ground ball or not being able to move a runner over until they are blue in the face.

This is way better than drone and downright awesome when the moment warrants it. He's so so at football (which he does call every week for FS1) but he was perfect for march madness. Sports are supposed to be fun and exciting and he can at least convey that.

Yeah, Johnson was seemingly tailor-made for the NCAA tournament. Which, of course, he hasn't done since 2011.

^^^ It's all about FOX Sports synergy! Just ask Pam Oliver about how all of that works.

Augusta National is known for harboring many disgusting ideologies but this is one I'm full on board of. Hell, I'd rather the Thursday/Friday rounds go to The Golf Channel and I hate the NBC crew.

Ugh. This was one thing I thought North American sports did better than soccer - keeping the uniforms clean. Of course, it makes sense for business to exploit all revenue streams, and god knows we aren't going to stop watching, so it's probably inevitable. Looking forward to rooting for the New York Goldman Sachs.

I'll meet soccer halfway here. I can accept ads on soccer jerseys because there aren't any commercial breaks aside from halftime. Basketball has 10,000 timeouts though so that's gonna get old really fast.

Eh, they weren't going to ignore that potential revenue stream forever. I get why people don't like it but I imagine they'll get over it pretty quickly. At some point I'm sure people were mad about ads all over the court too, but with time everyone stopped noticing. It'll just become part of basketball. Eventually only the crotchety old dudes who get mad about rap music and t-shirt cannons will still be complaining and everyone else will just shrug.
