I would listen to that man read the phone book. He’s a god drat national treasure and I can’t believe it’s been nearly 30 years since he called his first Tribe game.

Awful announcing posted:

For as much as Warriors-Cavs gave the NBA over the last four years, it’s a bit deflating that what will go down as one of the league’s great all-time rivalries ended with such a whimper. And the same was true in the ratings department.

Friday night’s Game 4 earned 16.2 million viewers, which was the least watched game of any of the 22 games played throughout the Warriors-Cavs Finals series. The previous low was 16.5 million viewers for Game 3 in 2016. To put those numbers in perspective, Game 7 in the 2016 Finals drew almost twice the audience with approximately 31 million viewers.

The NBA had pretty much everything possible working against it in Game 4. The momentum and intrigue surrounding the series was mostly dead, the game was a blowout, and it was taking place on a Friday night. What may be most intriguing about the rating is that the Warriors-Cavs Game 4 performed particularly poorly in the 18-34 demo range. The 4.8 rating in that demographic was the lowest for a Finals game since all the way back in 2007 (!!!), which just so happens to be the last time that a LeBron-led Cavs team was swept in the Finals, that time by the San Antonio Spurs.

Is it really a rivalry if one team has won 3/4 of the total series they have played?

It's a rivalry in the sense that calling it a rivalry helps generate clicks, and that whatever team Lebron James is on is the only one in the east that poses any threat at all to the Warriors, and even then it's basically negligible....


so, no.

I hope the drop in ratings accelerates them getting rid of the conferences and just seeding teams properly. Rockets-Warriors would have been great fun for the Finals.

Nah, Boston was pretty equivalent or slightly better than Portland/OKC by most metrics and that was a close series. I expect Cleveland against either would could have gone either way, but I don't know that they'd even be favorites.

Toronto was way better than the 3/4 seeds but I won't use them for shookness reasons.

Beyond team USA missing, it was a match between two of the worst teams in the whole tournament at a time when way fewer people are gonna be watching tv here.

The official account of NFL Tackle Phil Loadholt.

Let's talk Football.

The painfully awkward situation where they bring in one of the few Mexican American employees and try to make her agree that it is funny and she doesn't budge.

BUT NO MAN, LIKE, A DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED KID IN A CAGE AND YOU SAY WOMP WOMP WE'RE LAUGHING AT THE ABSURDITY OF IT!

Also my daily I hate Barstool and everything the brand stands for rant, which includes how its basically turning every dumbass white frat guy into a same thinking robot. Their right wing "Oldrow" account which openly endorses Trump and then theres just the standard Barstool account which quietly fist pumps for trump. Its just a garbage site and I honestly can't imagine what its like if you're a woman working in that loving office. It's loving trash.

Always great to see Katz, who everyone insists is one of the good ones at Barstool because they don't want to feel bad about liking PMT, in every one of these clips of them being terrible giggling along to everything Portnoy does

Its honestly a bit scary how Barstool has built an army of CHUDs. I realize Youtube is a cesspool already but the comments on that video are bad. And because I sort of work in sports still I have to sift through that poo poo sometimes and the insane hatred of women is loving wild. Sports is already a sausage fest filled with women haters but barstool is special because its basically either "I want to gently caress this smokeshow whore" or "get this loving oval office away from the mic/in front of the camera/existing because she's a shrill bitch."

Not to mention they're extremely thin skinned...the leadership there. You talk any poo poo about them and they see they'll just sick the Barstool army of assholes on people. Its really bad and sad that they're actually shaping a bit how online sports culture/reporting is heading.

E: I assume she wrote this under duress: https://www.barstoolsports.com/barstoolu/who-knows-barstool-better-an-employee-or-a-bankrupt-website

And then even after she defends Barstool and the guys she still is getting hated on:

"I wish you were never associated with this website to be honest."

"You lost me after saying nazi in a non sarcastic way. Get real"

"YOU loving SUCK"

"Clearly not you, you loving idiot because you keep giving us lovely content that we don’t want or ask for. Go to deadspin already"
