It sounds like a ‘world feed’ coming from CONCACAF because the game is in El Sal. Not really in CBS’ control.

Reminds me of when I was in college and shot small-town HS football in Missouri.

One school—I want to say Moberly, but it may have been Mexico—had commentators go on a huge tangent about how they’d been watching more Blues hockey since they got an HDTV, and that they’d want to change their last name to “Colaiacovo” because they thought it sounded cool

And immediately after season 2 began, 9/11. I don’t know much about that era, I wasn’t paying attention to announcers, did his brainworms emerge quickly or did he manage to behave on air?

as I remember it most of the problems with Dennis in the booth was him leaning waaayyy too hard on his ultra-specific-historical-analogies-as-comedy gimmick, and just having zero chemistry with Michaels and Fouts.

Whatever trauma 9/11 caused him as a long-time New Yorker turned into instant brainworms. He took a hard right turn real quick.

He's like the anti Keith Olbermann, who if you'll remember was once in a brief relationship with Laura Ingraham.

I stopped watching ESPN almost entirely after LeBatard left. I tuned out of almost all TV after that except live sports.

Speaking of which, how does one watch them live now? Do they have a daily live show somewhere?

Dear WarnerMedia,

Take all of your sports properties and make a basic cable 24/7 sports channel. It's not like you can't move all of truTV's original programming to TBS.

Hell yeah, now how the gently caress can I watch it over here. Seems to have disappeared off Twitter though.

also the worst thing is that Barstool thing is designed to look like a whiskey bottle which surely will lead to some confusion. seeing nuclear blue in that rough kind of bottle makes me think MD not revitalization.
