I've not once met a person who liked Joe Buck, either in person or in media. I just have to wonder why he still has a job and gets the "best" assignments for broadcasting.

His dad.

We were talking about this in the other Sports Journalism thread a few weeks ago and someone (sorry, I can't remember who) brought up that in the ESPN oral history book people in the Post newsroom couldn't tell the difference between early PTI and actual lunchroom arguments Wilbon and Kornheiser were having. Well, except for the lack of swearing.

It's too bad Around the Horn has never had a consistently idiot-free panel, but at least they're not giving Jay Mariotti a platform anymore and Bomani Jones is pretty good.

Bomani is so good that he makes me willing to watch an hour's worth of ESPN debate shows (though I would probably like DLHQ regardless because of how bizarre it is).

Ugh he's awful. It's like they just said "OK Gus, now a team is a side, the field is the pitch, and you always say nil instead of zero. You're on, we're live!"

That's why people hate him? Well now Gus Johnson as a soccer announcer rules.

Right on cue, he and Spencer Hall and others tried sneaking into a high school football game. They got caught and kicked out.

What about Premiere League viewers?

I remember thinking it was strange that she was leaving SportsNation for Access Hollywood and even weirder when she was going back to sports on a network that nobody watches. If anything, she should fire her agent.

I bet both of those stops got her more money so the agent is probably doing their job.

I'm with Benne on this. NBCSN has done a hell of a job with the Premier League and NHL. FS1 seems stuck in no-man's land right now, and it's a shame given the talent they have available.

I could give a poo poo less about the UFC but yeah if that's your trump card you might as well go all-in on it. I don't know who owns the specific rights to what though, between Fox, UFC and... is Zuffa still a thing? They seemed to have their name attached to Ultimate Fighter and some of the free PPV events.

Zuffa is just the parent company of UFC

And not even like "became a talking head on an NFL pregame show and that's it" kind of success. Like true "everyone in America knows who he is" kind of success. Maybe that's an exaggeration, but my wife knows who he is (and loves him) because of Kelly and Michael and she's a pretty good indicator of fame outside of sports.

That's absolutely what Tiki was trying to be, now he's been hilariously usurped by Strahan.
