This is where I can vent on how Jim Nantz gives more importance and gravitas to sponsor reads than he does the actual sporting event that's on the screen, doubly so if it's at the Masters and he can thus kiss the rear end of anyone wearing a green jacket in the hopes he gets a membership, right?

Crazy Ted posted:Also, the Team Handball announcer gets utterly looney. I caught part of a handball game on BeIn once and the announcer seriously wondered aloud how there could be anything more exciting on the face of the earth. It's not like he's wrong or anything. Also, Fox Soccer Plus owns because it shows both Aussie Rules and rugby league, and if it doesn't get rolled into Fox Sports 2 something is wrong with the world.

FuzzySkinner posted:I'd love to figure out who the true GOAT's of "homer/local" radio broadcasters would be. Hockey-wise, Bob Cole on HNIC is pretty much the national hockey broadcaster. Plus, so many local guys are very closely linked to their teams over the years: Rick Jeanneret in Buffalo, Fred Cusick in Boston, Sam Rosen with NYR, Mike Lange in Pittsburgh, Bob Miller with the Kings, Gene Hart in Philly, Dan Kelly with STL--especially with the expansion teams, one guy does/has done their calls since roughly their founding. Plus, there's even the case where legendary commentators move with the team: the great Chuck Kaiton started with the Whalers and moved to Carolina, while Ralph Strangis (who took over himself for a beloved caller in Al Shaver) went with the Stars from MN to Dallas and was incredibly popular in both places. Also, for college sports Mike Kelly (no relation to Dan, though Dan Kelly did regularly call Tiger football in the '60s/'70s before the hockey season started) at Mizzou is probably the only guy I know at a P5 school that does both their football and basketball games on radio. He's also one of those guys everyone loves.

Clay Travis can still go on about "MSESPN" and Deadspin can still go on about how ESPN needs to Do Better.

Bomani is back this week on HQ and yes, it's as good as you'd expect. Partially because the Cavs are lovely to start the year and as such Gonzalo Le Batard gets to be very smug about the eSnake Brothers, LeBron and Dwayne.

Rick posted:The relevance of the Fox regionals has mostly died out over the past five years with Comcast/Time Warner/Cox trying to use local sports teams as the way to establish networks and spending a lot to do it, and just in general they've been only keeping rights when they could lowball. ESPN is picking up something practically dead already. It's too bad, they were super important in making sports accessible nation wide. depends on where you live, in some markets (Dallas, STL/KC, Twin Cities, Ohio) where either there's multiple cable companies or the local ones weren't interested in sports networks, the FSNs are still a big ratings deal. yeah they got bounced out in NYC by the major teams owning their own networks and in Chicago by Comcast, and in LA they're facing a tough go because of Spectrum, but in other markets they're going strong.

BWV posted:There are a million reasons why the Stugotz Show w/ Dan LeBatard is so good but a big one is that they have such a better eye for show friends than your typical show. From the days of having Stan van Gundy to Bomani, to now having Mina, Pablo, Foxworth, Amin etc. the show is really good at targeting people who can significantly contribute. None of them will ever touch the OG guest Greg Cote, who at this point is basically like a 3rd host, but they are still really good at fitting in. Except for Sarah Spain who now fits out and just yells at everybody and acts like a Chicago bro. and don't forget the celebrity friends like Pat Sajak, Kenny G, Method Man, and others who get the show. also Greg Cote Tuesdays should be a national holiday, even if he does not come armed with Back In My Day, Soup Du Jour, a Lobos Update, or manages to avoid the HNO all three times
