Groucho Marxist posted:That's why people hate him? Well now Gus Johnson as a soccer announcer rules. I mute the television every time Gus Johnson commentates on a Champions League game because he is so utterly poo poo at it. I get that it's his thing to raise his voice at every single thing but his style of commentating doesn't work for football at all.

For moments like that it is warranted, it was an amazing catch and an improbable circumstance but having the same loving reaction to what should be regarded as a relatively mundane thing gets annoying.

MourningView posted:maybe y'all should get a goddamn job instead of watching curling all day Tell that to me when I'm in my office watching the olympics because I own at my job.  I also can be seen in our break room with the 10-20 other non-american born football fans watching the champions league, it's uh, gotten so bad that management pretty much sent out an email begging us to not make so much noise so that the Americans in the office don't get mad jealous that we're watching football during work hours lol.

Wasn't there a guy on tosh.0 who had pretty terrible sports commentary so he did a web redemption and pulls out "Easy, breezy cover girl." out of no where and Gus Johnson is so taken aback he just stares at him for a few seconds.

Gus Johnson is terrible at football. He just reminds me of a shittier, more banal version of Ray Hudson. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgk04dtId7Y He's so over the top I just can't help but love him. Plus it helps he's a Geordie.

Yeah, he was VERY terrible for the Fedor vs Rogers fight. He kept trying to make it into a human interest story about Rogers instead of just calling the loving fight.

I suggest you all watch a European broadcast of the NFL sometime, it is loving hilarious the amount of punditry during games. It seriously made me miss commercials.

sportsgenius86 posted:I think it's mostly that people with decent opinions on sports generally don't seem to listen to sports talk radio, so the ratings are largely driven by the morons who think like Mark Madden. This is a bit rich coming from you of all people. You have no decent opinions and you dont listen to sports radio. In fact I think internet nerds in general have the worst sports opinions. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Fine for content: Sports radio is actually only good for listening to fans whinge about how shite their team is. I don't think sports radio is inherently wrong or bad. In fact one of the best radio shows in general is the Dan Patrick show. Always funny, always relevant and always willing to talk on more than the token talking points.
