Still funny that they basically gave her $500 an episode, some interns, and a storage closet to shoot in, and it was still one of the best things on the network. I'd catch her stuff on her youtube page too.

I only heard him on various national broadcasts but he was awesome. Loved his voice, loved his approach. No gimmicks, no tics, no trying to make it about himself. This is just as awful as when Tom Mees died.

Peanut President posted:is Daytona really a major event though? Ehhh it's up there. The only sporting events that have higher ratings are the highest rated NFL games and NFL Playoffs, the Final Four, SOME NBA Finals games, the Kentucky Derby, SOME World Series games, and the CFB National Championship. That's actually not that much.

There was an interesting back-and-forth between University of Washington football coach Chris Petersen and ESPN, where Petersen bemoaned the late (for east coast) start times, saying it kept them out of the national discussion, east coast bias, etc etc. ESPN blowhard Kirk Herbstreit hit back, basically pulling the mob boss thing and saying Petersen should be thankful ESPN televises them at all. Both had legitimate points (to certain degrees) but here's where it gets bizarre. This culminated in an astoundingly bush league graphic put up by ESPN during the Washington/Cal game, where the very network itself was basically telling Petersen to pipe down. https://twitter.com/RJ_Writes/status/917004046074089472

Washington only had 3 games last year (4 if you count the PAC-12 championship) that started after 9ET and they made the playoffs just fine. That graphic is also bullshit because good PAC-12 games almost never kick off earlier than 9ET on ESPN. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy when you're saving the good PAC-12 games for late at night after all the Big 10, SEC, and Big 12 games are over. There's literally nothing else for people to watch.

Part of Herbie's point seemed to be that running that late on the east coast also meant that they run unopposed for viewers, which isn't untrue.

Going at Petersen that hard is pretty lovely, but Petersen being so mad about it is insane to me. a) his apology to the fans for the late start times is ridiculous, because they're starting games at 7 or 8 local time, which is no different than anyone on the East Coast. b) Being on tv concurrent with Big Ten, ACC, SEC games is NOT going to get more people to watch their games. I can understand the idea that not many people are watching that late at night, but you're going to get far less earlier in the day on the East Coast and the numbers clearly back that up. Both sides are being idiots here.
