Girl commentators

[huskyhater75 242]

Why is there an over-flooding of women/girls pretending to be experts on football? HEY, if you’ve never played the game don’t tell me what you tho l. Football is a man’s game and only men (cheerleaders are cool though) should be announcers or commentators.

[polecatt 404]

I think that's mainly ESPN. It's one thing to have a regular show host who is a female, but one that actually talks about the game like they have some sort of expertise, that's crazy!

I feel about the same way for male "experts" who have never played.

Basketball is even worse, lol

BTW: Why don't they show women's bowling and/or pool/billiards anymore ?

Some of those ladies were hotter than Georgia asphalt!

 

 

[huskyhater75 242]

Heck yes, I remember those days!

[Donkey 34]

Howard Cosell and Al Michaels never played football, among many others.

[Jarvis Basnight 119]

That Doris lady in the NBA is well respected.

I haven't noticed women commentators in the NFL.  Mainly sideline reporters or talking in cozy chairs with ex-NFL guys who don't prepare but just talk out of their butts.

[TBayXXXVII 2,132]

Nothing wrong with women in basketball... but if I hear a woman on baseball or football, I change the channel.

[nobody 2,053]

Women can't be any worse than some of the guys we have now.

And Doris Burke is good in the NBA.

[posty 2,296]

Seems to be a pretty sexist comment, no?

If they can talk about the sport that they are announcing and do it with intelligence and be interesting, then there is absolutely zero issue with a woman in the broadcast booth...

Holy moly give me Doris Burke over Joe freaking Buck any day.  I want to punch him so badly.

Mina Kimes is the one that annoys me.  She's always saying, "wow what an amazing play by defender X!"  Then I go look at the play because I like amazing plays and all, and it's some linebacker backpedalling two steps and the quarterback throwing the ball directly into the guy's chest for an interception.  I mean, congrats for not falling for whatever fake you were supposed to fall for and all, but these plays aren't that amazing.

Tony Romo is at the top of my “mute the TV” list

Nothing wrong with trying to keep someone awake during a boring game.

[Hardcore troubadour 12,743]

I hate all of them. I used to like Aikman until he started to try and act like Romo. Take a breath man. Moose Johnson is another one. He never shuts up. 

[nobody 2,053]

Speaking of Joe Buck, what I don't get is why there aren't more female play-by-play people.  That's not as hard of a job as thinking of something insightful about a play and conveying it in 30 seconds.  

[fatguylittlecoat 13]

ESPN IS OWNED BY DISNEY, HENCE THE AFFIRMATIVE ACTION.  MOST MEDIA OUTLETS LEAN WAY LEFT... HOPEFULLY THEY'LL PRESERVE OUR FOOTBALL BUT I WOULDN'T BET ON IT. BE READY FOR ANNOUNCERS WITH BLUE AND PINK HAIR WITH NO EXPERIENCE WHATSOEVER IN FOOTBALL BUT THEY'VE MOVED UP THE RANKS WITHIN THE LIBERAL MEDIA.  I NEED TO THROW UP... AND IT'S NO COINCIDENCE WHAT HAPPENED AT VANDY LAST WEEKEND, YES, SHE TRULY DESERVED PLAYER OF THE WEEK... REALLY ?  

[DrG 94]

Why during the week for Monday Thursday games prefer radio commentators.

joe buck

All thumbs down

[huskyhater75 242]

I agree with you, it’s probably gonna get worse. And what I initially meant was women announcing games and hosting football shows where she has 2-4 men as her puppets, acting as if she knows as much as them. Sideline girls are okay where they ask the coach a question on the way to 1/2 time locker room or after game, just don’t tell me what you think, because it’s a woman’s opinion on something she’s never done.

Oh yes, that Asian woman they used to show playing pool on ESPN back in the day, she was smoking hot!

Can't remember her real name but I think they called her the Black Widow

[DrG 94]

. Every team has cheerleaders. Why if you’re not going to show them?

American marketing professionals know women spend more of the discretionary and other funds than men.  So almost all media content is ‘curated’ in that direction 

Thankfully this hasn’t reached UFC just yet

[huskyhater75 242]

Okay ok I gotta tell you guys-the Russian women’s curling team (Olympics)-holy cr@p, especially the one that yelled something like “vleeze, vleeze”, smoking’ hot.

[drdelaware 7]

I’m sure they are told what to say.  Plus I’d rather see a hot woman than Some ex football player.  Just keep the women out of the announcing booth and it’s fine.

[Super Cubs 132]

I don't really care who the commentator is as long as they know what they are talking about. Which would dq most people on this forum, myself included.

Aikman is good when its a game he wants to see. If its not a game he's interested in he sucks. 

 

[nobody 2,053]

Wait.  You can't tell me all of you fùckers played football and you fools never stop talking about it.

I'm barely breaking 6 figures, but my performance review is coming up.  Fingers crossed.

Now that you mention it, you'd expect an on-air personality to come up with original content to an extent.  Not many people here do that.  I think most of what gets posted here that would qualify as analysis is lifted from other media content.  Except me, of course.  Mike pays me to bring the exclusive content.

He’s over paying you.

Most of them are more articulate than the former players and coaches the networks tend to use. It is painful to listen to their “commentary” every week.

The only place for them is sideline interviews-a quick question at halftime or quick question or two after the game. They offer no knowledge/experience at all. The worst one is Good Morning Football, it’s a joke.
