This Fox Broadcast of the Belmont Stakes feels... Rough? Like really rough. It technically feels awkward as hell, the tone is super weird and I'm honestly wondering if some people aren't just TV drunk but drunk rear end drunk.

It reminded me of when FOX had the US Open golf tournament. Just terribly unprepared. The broadcast team was professionals who knew nothing about horse racing and a couple horse racing people who looked scared to death to be in front of a camera. The on-track lady was clearly just some news woman delivering every bit of information like it was a local robbery or something. Almost anything you could deem as "event specific knowledge" seemed like it was being read from a prompter. The only person who seemed comfortable AND knowledgeable was Chris "Bear" Fallica. It was atrociously bad.

We are not even 24 hours past the Nuggets winning the NBA championship and ESPN is still making GBS threads on them https://twitter.com/awfulannouncing/status/1668642444404207617?s=46 The facial expressions from JJ are pretty great though

ESPN probably wants the league to be the same size as it was in 1960 Boston Philly Syracuse (Change to Miami) NYC St. Louis (Change to San Francisco) LA Detroit Cincinnati (Change to Chicago)

It’s kind of a running joke on the LeBatard Show for them to cover Mad Dog’s appearances on First Take because it’s always some version of ‘player x today couldn’t hold Bill Russell’s jock strap’

If ESPN had their way there'd be a team for every state in New England so they wouldn't have to travel ever again to cover sports

The only way Syracuse is getting a professional team in any league is if a hydrogen bomb turned it into a smoldering crater and someone felt guilty about it.

I think it is the other way 'round. Syracuse is one of the largest surviving population centers for the Restored United States of America 45 years after A-Day when society finally stabilizes enough.

Ha, I forgot that's what they called the post-apocalyptic America in that movie. Or you could take The Expanse as your model and Syracuse is huge because it is is 400 feet above sea level, protected by the Berkshires, and have the Finger Lakes and Lake Ontario as freshwater sources making it one of the places the North East Corridor fled to.

I've only finished Leviathan Wakes, stopped Caliban's War halfway thru and never watched the TV series so that makes less sense. The point is the NBA media are only interested in teams in a city that they want to go to. They don't want Sacramento, Salt Lake City or Milwaukee if they can help it. The same with most players. Any city that is considered sexy are in and all others are out and most are the latter. I would say professionally tourism is the main metric but the actual reason is actually one's libido.

Fakeedit: looks like 2022 numbers had them down an additional 2m subscribers, another $183m/yr. That's nearly a billion in annual revenue over the last two years. Knew it was bad but, poo poo.

Live sports are the engine that drives places like ESPN and FS1 but the inning eating as you say is actually the real content in a lot of ways. There’s a lot of empty time that must be filled with takes I actually have always had a soft spot for Kellerman. He was the guy on ATH that got me hooked watching. I am a freak and like boxing and he’s a boxing guy. I think it’s funny how espn is min/maxing when it comes to cost reduction.

Kellerman and Kenny on ESPN Radio NYC was one of my favorite radio shows of all time and by far the best ESPN Radio show I ever heard. Worst was obviously the Mike Tirico Show, just insanely boring. They eventually brought Michelle Tafoya on to try and save it but she could only help so much.

Them pumping up ESPN+ has led to the atrophying of original programming on linear television. On any given weekday, it seems 18 hours of ESPN2 is what ESPN was airing an hour earlier.
