Are you freaking kidding me??????? I have to listen to this crap all night?? unreal

[vuduchile 1,940]

No sh!t.

 

GTFO

[bfros 53]

it's a good thing. yes it sounds awkward AF. But it's a good thing. And not as bad as when Rex chimes in.

 

just kidding. this is a show.

[shorepatrol 1,735]

Like finger nails on a fockin chalkboard

I have to go from Gruden (the best) to this freaking garbage? How is it a good thing???? It's absolutely horrible

[shorepatrol 1,735]

Does she have her head in a focking box?

[Vikings4ever 496]

Seems like ESPN really phoned it in for the second half of the double header.

[kujerry 9]

Her voice is deeper than sexy rexy.

[weepaws 2,451]

Man next they will give them the right to vote.

[Jarvis Basnight 119]

This is like hot pokers in my ears.

[bfros 53]

it's Beth Mowins. She's been calling college football games for 12 years. Has also called preseason games for the Raiders.

 

Important cause it sets a precedent for women who want to do play by play in sports broadcasting. Crazy male dominated profession.

 

and yes, I say all this pro-women sh*t with a half naked chic as my thumbnail. Ha.

[Pheagle 4]

Have to watch this game with TV on mute...Rex Ryan and this clueless woman....just brutal.

[seafoam1 1,878]

I hate this as well. I am all for women having jobs that men do and being a CEO or Directing Manager or whatever. I have female bosses that I really respect.

 

But I hate women announcers in men's sports. It would be like casting a woman as Harry Callahan in a remake of Dirty Harry. Or let's have a man in the role of Princess Leia in Star Wars. It doesn't make sense.

 

This is entertainment, and casting decisions should be made just like the movies, not a role open to fair and equal positions to every person who hasn't done the role before.

[pee-diddy 27]

She sounds like Ross Perot

[DonS 3,063]

Who is this focking sideline reporter??? Espn pulled out the all star crew.

[jpcdds 21]

This is brutal...

 

The sideline reporter reminds me of when your 10 year old does some BS interview for a school project...

I half expected Sergio to yell "Boom goes the dynamite!"

[james00 4]

Her voice is so weak you can't even hear her lol

[DonS 3,063]

Nice avatar. Love BÖC.

[seafoam1 1,878]

Howard Cosell's remains are crying in his grave

 

 

In honor of Cosell, here is one of my favorite quotes from him:

"Arrogant, pompous, obnoxious, vain, cruel, verbose, a showoff. I have been called all of these. Of course, I am."

Eh, no, not really. Your analogy doesn't work. Princess Leia is a woman so a woman plays her. A play by play commentator is not necessarily a man or woman just because it's men playing the game. Men have done play by play for women's sports and nobody says crap. Women can call men's sports. The only problem here is that it's weird on our ears. That's it. It sounds weird. The Sergio guy on the field was equally as ridiculous sounding and he's a man.

 

It sounds stupid, I know. But.....it's the right move.

 

She sounds like a female Marv Albert to me.

[bfros 53]

I would totally stay up for that.

[DonS 3,063]

Not edgey enough. Needs to be non-binary or whatever the fock the proper term is.

[bfros 53]

Nice avatar. Love BÖC.

who is BÖC?

[DonS 3,063]

YESSSSS! Seriously, you nailed it.

[NAn 39]

I actually think she's calling a competent/non biased game. Not like when Buck/Aikman teabag Rodgers or (use to) Manning.

 

I have more problem with Rex...who is always portrayed as a fiery/blustery guy...sounding like an mild mannered insurance salesman, about to put me to sleep.

Marv Albert is the perfect comparison. And I am not saying they can't cast a woman in this role, just like someone could cast a woman in a remake of Dirty Harry as Harry Callahan, I'm just saying it sucks.

[DonS 3,063]

who is BÖC?

Blue Öyster Cult. Prisoners avatar.

[bfros 53]

The sideline guy was Sergio Dipp. His adolescent panic attack on the sideline was BY FAR the most hilarious bit yet. Gonna stay up hoping there's more of him.

 

ESPN, you're on notice.....

[Pheagle 4]

She's terrible...she completely sucks...or bites...wait are we talking Marv Albert or this hack announcing the game?

[IGotWorms 3,297]

I'll never be able to listen to a female announcer without thinking that she's nagging me about the dishes or the yard or the kids or a focking million other things

[Hawkeye21 1,848]

You guys must not watch many college football games. She calls a lot of them.

[Gepetto 977]

[prisoners 2]

She's trying too hard, and that weird emphasis on every fourth or fifth word is distracting. Rex is describing the action as if he's talking to someone watching tv with him, which sounds very natural and easy. I think he's doing quite well.

Perfect name for him "DIPP"... I think he $hit himself during that first spot.

[seafoam1 1,878]

Men have done play by play for women's sports and nobody says crap. Women can call men's sports.

And I am all for whomever actually watches women's sports to speak up saying they hate the male announcer. It's entertainment. You can hate what entertainment is provided without actually being a racist, a misogynist, whatever term they call it when you don't like people who want to be the other sex but marry their actual real sex, etc.....

 

That's a social issue. This is an entertainment issue. And I hope they don't keep doing this.

I just noticed that... lol! Now I can almost time her "inflections"!
