Next to H!P and Sex, you watch watch sports religiously. Thanks to 24 hour networks like ESPN, TSN, The Score, etc. we are informed all the time.
So what's your take on the anaylsts, play-by-play guys, and other sports programming?
Which ones do you like and which ones do you hate? What show you watching now? Anyone see Battle of The Gridiron Stars (http://espn.go.com/eoe/gridiron.html)? :lol:
Me. I listen to The Jim Rome Show (http://www.google.ca/url?sa=U&start=1&q=http://www.jimrome.com/&e=10141)every day. It's a talk radio program, hosted by "The Pimp In The Box" ... ever since I saw him on CTV Sportsnet with "The Last Word" - I liked his up front takes on the latest sports stories.
(http://img156.echo.cx/img156/5023/030508jimrome4ow.jpg)
He doesn't skirt the issues. And his callers are hilarious too, "have a take, don't suck" ... I envision JPM-XXX to be the H!P version of The Jungle. haha.
Then there's my fave play-by-play announcer Marv Albert. Not only is his YESSSS! legendary. dude also makes fun of his color analysts like Mike Fratello and Boomer Esiason.

The only radio I listen to is sports talk.
I listen to Rome. Mike & Mike on ESPN radio when I have to work early morning. And I listen to the local guys too.
As for play by play nothing beats the call of homer broadcasters. The best ones have great energy and awesome one-liners. Like the Indians radio guy Tom Hamilton kicks ass. He makes regular plays seem like it's game 7 of the World Series! And he's had so many classic blasts at opposing players. Michael Reghi and Austin Carr do a great job on Cavs TV. I like Reghi's style and Carr is very tell it like it is. And Joe Tate and Cavs' radio is a legend.
-
Oh hell yeah. Homers are great. We got the Hall of Famer Rod Phillips. The key to a great broadcaster his UNBIAS. Fuck man, dude screams GOOOOOOOAALLLLLLL!! to both teams.
Other broadcasters I respect: Michael Irvin - dudes funny and knowledgable. Hubie Brown and Al Michaels are actually pretty entertaining.
Fuck SB. We gotta have a mini "The Mom" in here. Romie is bringing the SMACK OFF!! :w00t:
That's who I like. Who (or what) do I HATE??
Let me start with EXTREME CLOSE UPS. Fuckin, everytime a guy scores a bucket, they gotta fuckin zoooom in on their grill. LMFAO @ TNT when they had "technical difficulties" and showed the game for five minutes in normal side to side view. What? No graphics to pimp your latest crap-shows? :evil:
-
I watch MIke and Miki in the morning on tv. PTI SPORTSCENTER AND Around the Horn.
-
i liked listening to the jim rome show, that is until the local radio station here dropped it.
my favourite show was the tony kornheiser show. great guests and no stupid call-in losers.
there is only 1 sports radio station here, and it sucks ass. but one is better than nothing i guess.
-
Joe Buck is pathetic. making a Willy Wonka plug. and it's not even for FOX! He should just shut up and talk about the game and not his own opinions, remember: "OMG Randy Moss just mooned the crowd!"
-
Anyone watch "Stump the Schwab" ... it was on The Score, 6:30 PST.
It's this game show where you take on this sweaty geek and try to answer the most questions! HA! I got some - like "Journey men" - like name Robert Horry, Nick Van Exel's teams in order.
plus .. btw. Stuart Scott is a fuckin Byrant Gumbel.
-
I saw this show "Distraction" on Comedy Network last night. It's a game show-deal where the contestants have to answer questions while stuff is being done to them/in front of them in an attempt to distract them so they don't answer in time. In the final round, the guys were each lying down on a single-sized bed, objective was to be the first to get five correct in a "speed round" type deal. The distractions were for each correct answer, a bikini-clad babe would join the guys in the bed!!! :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: There were asses being stuck in these "poor" guys faces, boobies were EVERYWHERE!!! Funny thing was, the guy who eventually won, when he got his fourth question correct, instead of a fourth babe, this huge-ass bidy-builder/wrestler dude comes in and does a bodysplash RIGHT ON TOP OF HIM on the bed. :lol: :lol: :lol: . Then the wrestler dude grabbed both of his legs as if to "pin" him. When the girls got back on the bed, one of them kept spanking the guys now-exposed ass. :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

ESPYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This year's show was great even though Jamie was funnier than Matthew Perry, but I don't think the hosts really matter....some idiot could host the show and it would still be good. Lets see.....in the beginning when they had the "images" rolling on the screen, that got my adrenaline going. I should watch that every time I play tennis.
The Arthur Ashe award winners were really great. Props to ESPN for finding ppl I've never heard of and giving them air time on tv. Their stories were really touching
--------
Hot Chicks: Jessica Simpson, Maria Sharapova, oooo that one chick that presented with Lebron, BEYONCE WAS SMOKING....alot of other girls i can't think of....but Beyonce was looking fine as usual.
i think the ESPYs is my fav award show :shock:
-
Really?? Fuck Canada doesn't air it till who knows when :lol:
Did you vote in the fan ballotting? Who won team of the year?

naw i didn't vote....team of the year went to Red Sox.

wow I watched This is Sportscenter today. Its a show that shows everything that goes on behind the scenes before and during a SportsCenter. Wow crazy shit happens. The pressure is crazy especially when breaking news are coming in and late games have yet to end. The achors make it look really easy, especially Boomer, 5 seconds before he goes on air to do the top 10 list or do highlights he was chatting with Scott Stuart over other stuff. jeez i never knew...
Oh, how bout that never show of Steven A. Smith's?
-
Man. I love the behind the scenes shit. Boomer is the best anchor in ESPN IMO.
Stephen A. Smith better not act like when he was subbing on Jim Rome is Burning...he has to be his "TORONTO RAPTORS MAKING A TERRRRIBBLE DECISION!!" hahaha
-
About The ESPYs, I HATE MATTHEW PEERRY!!! I HATE FRIENDS!! :evil:
That saying, Anika looked hot but buff...and funny that TO came on. Then McNabb presented next and HE LOOKED PISSED. :lol:
Keith Olbermann is back on ESPN!
"Put Da Biscuit IN DA BASKET!"
I remember him on FoxSports Net when we first had CTV Sportsnet, dude was hilarious. Then he had that lame-ass show on MSNBC. He's my fave sportscaster.
-
I was watching
"5 reasons you can't blame..."
KOBE BRYANT for breaking up the Lakers
damn they sure know how to convince people....i ended up blaming Shaq and Phil J. :lol:
-
I listen to podcasts by baseball bloggers online. In particular, David Pinto and Will Carroll. Both of them are engaging voices and never boring. And both have good programs that are a breeze to download.
-
Quite Frankly is a good show!
Today he had football agents come in which was really interesting.
-
Stephen A. Smith had Emmitt Smith on his show "Quite Frankly" last week!!! It was great. This week Serena Williams, Andy Roddick, and Melo. :D :D :D All these big name stars!
-

-
^ that's what I've been saying. she's pregnant now. and she did NBA games too. Sam Ryan - I swear she looks better on TV:
http://www.rateitall.com/i-855364-sam-ryan-espn.aspx
Listened to Jim Rome and he interviewed Mark Shapiro, ESPN Exec VP, great behind the scenes stories. Two grinders who worked their asses off. Now Shapiro goes to work for Dan Snyder's investment company as a CEO. :bow:
-
I was surprised Michael Irvin was on ESPN's Countdown Shows the day he got arrested, but what does his 1 week suspension do?

http://www.nbc5i.com/sports/5476174/detail.html
Check out the video clip. Pretty sad cuz he's prolly one of the most knowledgable sportscasters out there besides the right half of the CBS crew (Shannon Sharpe, Boomer)
-
man...i hope he keeps his job. He has great chemistry with them other dudes.

So that's where Hazel Mae went!!!!

She was the only reason to watch Sportsnet news (http://sportsnet.ca)

You know, I honestly didn't even notice she'd left. But yeah, she's pretty damn hot.

ESPN trades Al Michaels for “Oswald the Lucky Rabbit”
In an odd move, ESPN’s parent company, The Walt Disney Company, traded the contract of NFL play-by-play analyst Al Michaels to NBC Universal in exchange for various sports considerations and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, a cartoon character Walt Disney created 79 years ago but lost him to Charles B. Mintz when he created his own studio. Oswald is generally understood to be the precursor to Mickey Mouse. (http://onlyidol.com/index.php/2006/02/10/espn-trades-al-michaels-for-oswald-the-lucky-rabbit/)
Good to see Al Michaels + John Madden together still. MNF is gonna SUCK, Tony Kornheiser for half an hour on PTI is good enough but for a whole game? :evil:
-

I like Tony and I'm anxious to see what its going to be like listening to him for a whole game. It's Wilbon I can't stand.

Vin Scully, the voice of the Dodgers since the franchise won its first World Series title in BROOKLYN (yep, he made the title-clinching play by Pee Wee Reese), signed an extension last week that will keep him in Dodgerland through the 2008 season.
He may be old but he's still better than three-fourths of the broadcasting crap I watch on cable TV. Focused, informed, and engaging, he's an all-time great. I'm glad that the noob ownership in Los Angeles did the right thing.
-
Tony Kornheiser and his little penguin dance during PTI rocks.
-
How about Chris Webber the "analyst" during TNT's halftime show. He is decent.
What about Jalen Rose as a side line commentator? LOL Did you see Van Exel throwing towels at him and Rose was trying to keep his cool and kept talking in the mic.
lolol
-
There's been WEAK commentators this year. I ain't feeling Keyshawn Johnson and Emmitt Smith...zzzzzzzzzzzzz I want Playmaker back!
And who cared about Dan Patrick leaving ESPN? Guess he's gonna hope he'll be in an Adam Sandler movie.
Now they replaced him with the Stephen A. Smith show...fuck I have to turn that shit down.

He's funny :lol:
ROFL!! Kornheiser got banned for 2 weeks on ESPN for dissing Hannah Storm:
(http://blog.zap2it.com/thedishrag/Hannah-Storm-SportsCenter-outfit.jpg)
Hannah Storm in a horrifying, horrifying outfit today. She's got on red go-go boots and a catholic school plaid skirt. Way too short for somebody in her 40s or maybe early 50s by now. And she's got on her typically very, very tight shirt. So she looks like she's got sausage casing wrapping around her upper body. I mean, I know she's very good, and I'm not supposed to be critical of ESPN people, so I won't ... But, Hannah Storm, come on now! Stop! What are you doing? ... [She's] what I would call a Holden Caulfield fantasy at this point.
-
lol I thought they fired her. Crystal Leriger cuz they had some dork intro'ing the highlight reels.
(http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/9302/adadadav.jpg)
she just can't keep her bra hidden :fap watch her deep insight about the Oilers: http://video.oilers.nhl.com/videocenter/console?catid=5&id=79894&navid=DL (http://video.oilers.nhl.com/videocenter/console?catid=5&id=79894&navid=DL)|EDM|home

Vic the Brick at media day (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZOCOHkRC3I#ws)
love him and the Loose Cannons FEELING YOU on Fox Sports Radio. Them and Jim Rome I listen to all the time. Pat O'Brien LEGEND from all the NBA on CBS days but man, Hartman is that one annoying fucker I came to really get to respect. He got the stats and says it like it is, sure he bashes Kobe and the Lakers but hey. Better to bring an opinion then sit on the fence. And Petro is funny too. All tongue in cheek. SAM HERE!

Whaddya know. Ex-Oiler got his own radio show, after co-hosting with dat geek Gregor. ITS' "The Jason Strudwick Show" http://www.theteam1260.com/Episodes.aspx?PID=2615 (http://www.theteam1260.com/Episodes.aspx?PID=2615)
(http://i.imgbox.com/abcFp9eU.jpg)
course he can get his cousin Scott Neidermeyer to guest and others. Really good, better than the no name clones wannba Jim Romes on the other local broadcasts.
About the Show
As a player in the NHL for 12 seasons, Jason was known for three things...
- A quick wit often tested but rarely beat in the dressing room.
- A small ass... for a hockey player
- A sick back hand shot which he unfortunately rarely got to use.
- The last two really aren’t really much help for a talk show host but the first will come in very handy!
Jason is very excited to start a totally new career after seventeen years of professional hockey. Getting the chance to co host on the Jason Gregor show once a week off and on for the last year made him realize how much he enjoys doing it.
The many years inside a dressing will enable him to give a unique perspective on what is going on within those walls to the listeners. What players are thinking? He will be able to tell you! What were coaches thinking? You got it, he will share that as well.
It will take some time for Jason to find the perfect brown reporter’s trench coat that all reporter’s seem to wear. If you know of a good place to pick one up, let him know.
Show #2 already, SHITLOADS of vignettes - not talking about his whiny life but fuckin stuff he seen in the league and shit. he's better than most talk shows out there. GJ STRUDS!

haha this is why ESPN sucks. loser personalities like Rick Reilly. I love Steve Young hitting him, like WTF?
ORIGINAL ESPN Rick Reilly "Can you say I had this first on twitter?" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PSwm73lCS4#ws)
LMFAO Get caught off camera 'Say i said it on twitter first' to Stewart Scott. WHATTA FUCKIN LOSER XD
