Wonder if that can be applied to other sports as well.
Thanks sooo much.

Re: TV Announcers Consternation Station
Right. But did Boyle pi$$ off someone in ESPN wardrobe dept? He looked like they only gave him one suit and one tie and someone cut the sleeves off his dress shirt on Saturday and he drew the short straw and got the button down collar on Sunday. Left his razor and his hair product in his old locker at Princeton. Either that or ESPN ran out. "Oh Geez...Sorry Ryan we really needed it for SVP!"renault wrote: ↑Sun May 19, 2019 5:53 pm
Also pretty embarrassing that Carc dresses like a 19-year-old every time he's on TV.

Loved the tiny too tight tie knot too. My friends and I used to do that in 1968 to make our necks look thicker. Stopped just last year.
Re: TV Announcers Consternation Station
Boyle kills me, GQ aint gonna come a callin' to put him on their cover, he always looks like that (every time I've seen him anyway), don't think he suffers much from the vanity curse. Always looks as if he did a bong hit or two before coming on the air too. Not knocking him at all, I like what he brings to the booth.
Re: TV Announcers Consternation Station
Please stop telling stories about the players while the game is going on. Call the plays. Explain the calls. I don’t want to hear about the haircuts you have them.

Re: TV Announcers Consternation Station
Anyone else hear Quint blame the buddy pass on the Loyola SSDM helmet to helmet hit on the defenseless PSU player? Maybe Quint has taken a few too many shots to the noggin'.

Lined the guy up with 7 seconds left in the quarter. How about Quint saying "not a smart play"....That's a penalty in the NFL....youthathletics wrote: ↑Mon May 20, 2019 6:21 pm Anyone else hear Quint blame the buddy pass on the Loyola SSDM helmet to helmet hit on the defenseless PSU player?

Re: TV Announcers Consternation Station
The between semifinal games show rolling right now in the ESPN studio is a hoot. The announcer's Mom's should have pinned "I dressed myself today" cards onto their backpacks. Boyle's white sneakers are epic. Okay, back to lax...

I am amazed that Anish is actually trying to do PxP, separating himself Paul and QK.

QK said every Kelly shot on goal has been left-handed and then proceeded to call him the best shooter in the nation. Now 78 goals, all left. ZERO right.
Impressive totals, but holy hell, defenses can’t fare a little better to stop this and force some right-handed shots?

Re: TV Announcers Consternation Station
How many times can they say one guy was the last one added to a class.
Tired of Carc pushing rule changes on the FO. Play defense. PSU is in the game. So was GT.
Hated the year they did away with the FO. Everyone hated it. Lasted one year

Re: TV Announcers Consternation Station
Still don't understand why the faceoff is played with the Back of the crosse? Why not face the crosses forward when facing off? I suppose one could still pinch and pop, but at least the ball would not be on the back of the stick. The one thing the women's game has over the men's is the faceoff...every faceoff should be a fight for the ground ball--not a mangled face off stick that often withholds the ball...IMHO

Re: TV Announcers Consternation Station
I agree, the rules actually disallow their mangled sticks in the field of play and yet the rule is completely ignored because of the actual F/O event itself. Don't get me wrong, the game still needs a faceoff, but It could be tweaked. Carc suggesting further apart..ehh that could work but would require another/wider line. Actually having the sticks front facing would/could be interesting or even lining them up with the ball centered at the end of stick head or at least above the shooters.oldjayfan wrote: ↑Sat May 25, 2019 6:14 pmStill don't understand why the faceoff is played with the Back of the crosse?

I turned off the volume. I do the same to Chris Webber for NBA games.

Re: TV Announcers Consternation Station
They spent the whole fourth quarter loving on PSU. Yale got talked up the last 2 minutes of regulation and 2 minutes of post game. Right up there with awarding the TA to Spencer.
