The Comedian Posted April 10, 2022 Posted April 10, 2022 Gil Brandt needs to be put in senior care because he's 90 fuckin' years old and clearly is in early stages of dementia to anyone who listened to that sound bite. So let's put away the pitchforks and torches...

RIPPA Posted April 18, 2022 Posted April 18, 2022 Not really breaking news but it is again being reported that Apple has won the rights to the NFL Sunday Ticket and that the news is being kept quiet at Apple's request. It would begin next year (the deal with DirectTV runs through the 2022 season) Reportedly - they will be able to sell some of the satellite rights to bars and areas without high speed internet
RIPPA Posted April 20, 2022 Posted April 20, 2022 On 3/25/2022 at 10:59 AM, Zimbra said: Jonah Keri got 21 months in jail in his domestic violence case. If you choose to watch, you will wonder how the POS only got 21 months
hammerva Posted April 28, 2022 Posted April 28, 2022 Love that Sage Steele is suing that her "free speech was oppressed" by ESPN while actually working on ESPN the morning that she filed the lawsuit
dogwelder Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 Well at least you won't see stupid deals like when DC United sold their local TV rights to FloSports...
Chaos Posted June 15, 2022 Posted June 15, 2022 21 hours ago, RIPPA said: Well this is fucking idiotic ESPN and FOX having so much coverage of the league is part of why it has grown. I also question if they're limiting their revenue opportunities. Plus, the simulcast stuff is probably not going to make any major network jump at the opportunity. Makes sense for an established sports brand, but seems odd for MLS. 1
Gonzo Posted June 16, 2022 Author Posted June 16, 2022 Yeah. . .got a feeling this is gonna go over like a fart in church. 1
cubbymark Posted June 20, 2022 Posted June 20, 2022 The MLS moving to Apple is kind of dumb. My preference if I do watch MLS is to watch in Spanish. How does the Apple deal effect the Spanish language component of TV rights? Chicago sportswriter John Mullen passed away at 74. 1
Gonzo Posted July 4, 2022 Author Posted July 4, 2022 Longtime ESPN NFL handicapper Hank Goldberg has passed away at the age of 82. https://www.espn.com/espn/story/_/id/34193642/former-espn-nfl-reporter-handicapping-expert-hank-goldberg-dies-82 2
dogwelder Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 ESPN Senior Fantasy Sports Analyst Matthew Berry announced he's leaving after 15 years
RIPPA Posted July 13, 2022 Posted July 13, 2022 Don Lagreca lost his mind... again Now I will say that this clearly started as a work but Lagreca clearly worked himself into a shoot Also Lagreca is literally the only person in the country defending Joey Gallo 1

Of course that's why he was relegated to the graveyard shift on FAN, can't have intelligent discussion on The Valley of the Stupid. 1
hammerva Posted July 13, 2022 Posted July 13, 2022 (edited) Like mentioned before other places, when one of your top 3 qualities is that is you are a really good driver then maybe there is a problem Speaking about people with problems: Adam Schefter. Man he is going to be so glad when 2022 is over Edited July 13, 2022 by hammerva
odessasteps Posted July 13, 2022 Posted July 13, 2022 I think Richard Neer (sp) is only person I'd willingly listen to on WFAN. Maybe Chris Moore, due to ESPN radio nostalgia. 2
hammerva Posted July 24, 2022 Posted July 24, 2022 As much as I have found Dick Vitale annoying at times especially being an undeniable Duke homer, the ESPN Films special on him is absolutely must watch. it is extremely sad to see a man who is known for his voice has resorted to needing a tablet to communicate for almost a year. And unfortunately cancer is still messing with him. The stories about how he had to deal with his bad eye was hard to listen to. But even with that some great stuff as well especially his friendship with Jim Valvano and his early career at Rutgers and Detroit. 1
