Benne posted:They finally got rid of this part and the results have been immediately improved. Nearly every game today ended well within a 3-hour window. I was almost shocked when Redzone started the recap montage at like 7:25, since they usually pushed the 8 p.m. limit in the past. We'll see if this keeps up, but it was a good start towards streamlining the game experience. College football has never had touchdown/commercial/kickoff/commercial.

Being better than Phil Simms is the lowest bar in the world to clear so I didn't want to expect much, just don't be Phil. But he really was good. Just said in one of the NFL threads I don't dread having the top CBS crew call my team's games anymore.

It's what makes that coach's film room portion of the College football Megacast so interesting. For some reason TV people decided that the game needed to be dumbed down at some point in the 90's? Maybe earlier. Like, John Madden was a really smart football mind and he'd explain concepts at length early on. Then he became just a guy who said boom later in his career. He's less well known as a broadcaster (because he's a train wreck of a human being and lost his job) but Bill Maas was like this too. When he first started he'd talk about blocking schemes and techniques and be pretty interesting to listen to. Like a year later someone told him to make hot takes instead and that's what he did until he was out of the booth. Grittybeard fucked around with this message at 17:10 on Sep 11, 2017 |

McElroy has been doing it for a while. I was always incredibly impressed with his game commentary whenever Finebaum did his live bowlcasts.

The other insane and unsustainable thing about ratings and I guess all economic matters when it comes to poo poo like having to deal with stockholders is if it's not growth it's failure. It is completely impossible to even consider the NFL peaked or you'll be yelled at if you work for the NFL.

It's also a matter than once you go directly from the field to the booth you're still in-tune with what's currently going on in the game. I remember when Jeff Van Gundy left Houston and went on ESPN he was dropping hot fire about free throw rebounding or something super in-depth like that. But as you spend further and further away from the game everything evolves and either you talk about concepts and stuff that no longer applies or you resort to cliches and gimmickry. You can talk to all the coaches and players you want but they'll never give you the entire picture because they know it's your job to talk about it, so you end up becoming a slightly smarter version of the people watching at home, at best.

Maybe in the championship game but in a decade or so of spending my whole Saturdays watching upwards of 10 games I've never noticed it. Certainly not during Big Ten nooners, which are the closest equivalent to a 1 p.m. Jags-Titans matchup which definitely has them.

Bob Ley is firmly in Sergio Dipp's corner:quote:“Eight years ago when I was covering a World Cup qualifier in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, a local television producer asked me if I would be interviewed there, could I try to do it in Spanish? Now I know a little soccer Spanish to get around the game a little bit, so I said I’d give it a shot. I’ll tell you, after 20 seconds I had to stop, apologize, and say, ‘Guys, I’m sorry, we’ve got to do this in English.’ I’ve worked with many people in that sport from all over the globe who comment live on the air, English is their second language, and my respect for them doing that is absolutely unbridled.”

Holy loving poo poo. I knew he was petty, but I didn't think he was THAT petty  Also, I hope ESPN grows a pair and sues for chilling effects on freedom of speech, considering that's coming from the government and not a private citizen.

It says she said "its a fireable offense" not "she should be fired", which is still petty but not quite the same.
