I only require two things from a sports broadcaster: 1) Genuinely enjoys covering games 2) Is not compelled to tell the viewers ever 3 minutes how much they're enjoying the game

Joe Buck doesn't suck because he's monotone, Pat Summerall was monotone and he was great. Joe Buck sucks because his utter contempt for everything going on in front of him is so obvious.

I dunno, watching it now it's exactly what you think a Bill Simmons talk show would look like. Basically 70% ranking things and arguing about said rankings. As someone with a pretty high BS tolerance, the show isn't horrendous, it's just nothing. I'm not sure what the good version of this show looks like, but I know that Simmons should never monologue for more than 60 seconds. edit: does Affleck have a lazy eye? Something seemed off with him edit 2: it's a nice set though edit 3: I think you could hide Simmons' shortcomings as a tv presence best if you switched to a panel format where he's basically the moderator and he can talk to Chuck Klosterman and Wesley Morris and his old friend Jackie "Turd" O'Malley from Holy Cross all at once about race and the NHL or the latest dead wrestler or whatever.

They did a sketch last night where he and Michael Rappaport argued about deflategate in Judge Joe Brown's court and I felt embarrassed for everyone involved and for myself for watching. They ought to change the show where most of it is a panel format, but with a framing device where it's basically The Mary Tyler Moore Show starring the writers and with Simmons in Ted Knight's role as the no-nothing narcissistic doofus that somehow gets to be in front of the camera.

June 17, 1994 is pretty good. If I remember right, there are no talking heads, it's all just broadcast footage from the day edited together chronologically. Reminds me of those History Channel docs like 102 Minutes that Changed America and 3 Shots that Changed America

It's wrong for us Outsiders to weigh in, as we don't understand that pro football has a long tradition of so-called "jock jests", where one might do something wild like calling up your teammate and leaving a voicemail where you tell them, "Hey, wassup, you half-friend of the family piece of poo poo. I saw you on Twitter, you been training 10 weeks. I’ll poo poo in your fuckin’ mouth. I’m gonna slap your fuckin’ mouth, I’m gonna slap your real mother across the face [laughter]. gently caress you, you’re still a rookie.

I'm watching the NCAA women's championship right now, and ESPN's in-game coverage of a serious injury for one of Baylor's players is loving disgusting. They held a split screen of her being attended to and her parents looking on in horror for like 2 straight minutes.

FuzzySkinner posted:I think cable is more likely to survive if they just hitched itself to the "on demand/app" wagon over the current/dying model of "Hey pay us 85 bucks for reruns of "BONES" on TNT" Yeah, it seems like we're just heading toward a bunch of competing content libraries and a few live event streaming services, and probably some of the content libraries and streaming services get married. Pay Disney $70 a month and get Hulu, all things ESPN, and Disney+. Pay AT&T and get the Turner movie library, TNT's current sports offerings, and HBO, and if AT&T is your phone provider maybe you get those for free. Maybe Turner makes a play for some college football rights in a few years too.
