I wanna see Teila Tuli's tooth fly out! I wanna see Joe Son's dick and balls get destroyed! I wanna see Severn and Shamrock circle each other for a half hour! Wait, scratch that last one. 2
RIPPA Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 I am double posting this since folks probably wanna be aware of things to fill their time
John from Cincinnati Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) I wish we had the Ocho here. I need that in my life. I'll probably find some of that shit online later. So we've gotten to the point where they're airing complete or near-complete Jays games from 2015, and one hour condensed games from the '92 playoff run. They've got it backwards: I want full games from the early '90s playoff runs. The World Series games are easy enough to find online, but it's pretty hit-or-miss beyond that.

OJ: Made in America has been available on Comcast's On Demand service since the day after the episodes first aired. I also wish they'd air the 10-part Bulls documentary early, in case we (or they) don't make it to June. Edited March 29, 2020 by Tarheel Moneghetti

This was mentioned as an idea maybe the day after the craziness of the NBA being shut down started. They shut down production as they still were filming stuff so that won't be coming out anytime soon.

Guest The Magnificent 7 Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 Bunch of media companies are going to learn about force majeure in their contracts. A lot of lawyers at least are going to get rich off of arguing about it.

Dolfan in NYC Posted April 7, 2020 Author Posted April 7, 2020 Your periodic reminder that Barstool is trash, even in times like this:
Southside Jim Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 With the Audience Network being transformed into a fucking preview channel for HBO Max, NBC Sports Network has picked up The Rich Eisen Show. https://deadline.com/2020/04/rich-eisen-show-nbcsn-nfl-draft-1202904878/
RIPPA Posted April 10, 2020 Posted April 10, 2020 They aren't fucking lying. Let's just say, a shirtless Clayton Kershaw doesn't even make the Top 5 1

RIPPA Posted April 10, 2020 Posted April 10, 2020 Oh it gets better - they thought the best course of action was bad mouth him to the employees after he left
SirFozzie Posted April 10, 2020 Posted April 10, 2020 Yeah, fuck SI. 50 stories in 2020, (101 or so days). And then to bad mouth him on the way out? SI saw deadspin's implosion and said "Wait, we can do worse" 1
Kuetsar Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 ESPN has 100 commentators? Wow, although it not voluntary if they are asked. . .
odessasteps Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 I’m sure if you add up all the sports, you could prob get to 100 in due time. Of course, my understanding is that most of those folks are technically free lancers, as opposed to anchors. I wonder if commentators include talking heads like SAS and Mr Tony.

The story specifically names SAS, Mike Greenberg, Alex Rodriguez and another announcer I am spacing on So yeah - use the loosest definition of "commentator" In fact - it is probably easier to think of it as "on-air talent" 1
