Pam Ward was and presumably still is really bad, but she did improve a shitload around the time they pulled her from Noon Big Ten duty. Beth Mowins is really boring but otherwise is fine.

Beth Mowins is ok only for the time she accidentally refereed to Trevor Siemian as "Trevor Semen"

OH poo poo THE NEXT 30 FOR 30 IS THE GODDAMN 85 BEARS

I don't think it is humanly possible to find anything new about them since the local Chicago channels air an 85 Bears documentary like every 6 months but give me that sweet HD Payton footage please.

I agree. Gruden seems to find at least a little joy in even the worst games, and he gives less informed fans enough info to make games enjoyable, much like Madden did.

Gruden is the irritating but relatively lighthearted Marvel to the grimdark DC Aikman universe, I'll take my answer off the air.

the whole point of arnold movies is that arnold is uniquely charming/wooden/cartoonishly huge/unable to speak english even though no one ever acknowledges his obvious foreign provenance and all his good movies were made in an irreplicable movie era bereft of irony or sophistication

Original Running Man was a game show, because they didn't have reality shows. We can do it better now because of that.

Especially if you make it closer to what it was in the novel. Instead of having to do the video check in via mail, he'd be tweeting or something, and then there'd be people all nuts on social media that THEY SAW THE RUNNER!!!!!!

Plus there'd be an awesome scene where a bunch of turds are trying to take selfies with him and they all get cut down by a Hunter.

the one moment of hubris i allow myself is that i wake up every day fully convinced that even with no television production experience whatsoever save from operating a camera on a cable-access teen "issues" show when I was 14 that was even worse than you are imagining, i could produce a vastly superior half-hour sports talk show than any given wednesday.

I'd love to do a "Worst announcer" bracket of some sort.

Nantz/Simms would be up there.
Hawk Harrelson Region: Unbearable local homer
Reggie Miller Region: Analyst so bad he ruins a GOAT play-by-play guy
Joe Buck Region: Every single football announcing team not Michaels/Collinsworth
gently caress You Baseball Playoffs Region: It is apparently impossible for there to be a single national baseball broadcast that isn't awful (except A-Rod)

Homerism is fine, homerism when you spend the entire game bitching about refs and other players is unbearable, homerism where you scream about how yer playin' this game UNDER PROTEST DADGUM IT is kind of amusing, homerism when you are physically incapable of calling an opposing walk-off home run is kind of amazing, but it goes with all the other stuff.

He's a really strange guy. There's been some good pieces on him and you come away thinking he's either OCD or somewhere on the spectrum. My guess is that while he's a great color guy, his weird personality has held him back from doing bigger things.

There was also that strange 2004 season where the Cubs underperformed and a bunch of crybabies on the team had a tantrum that he wasn't praising them enough.
