TNT sports

[coollino]

My point is they have their own game with all female presenters so why have they got to take over the mens game aswell? It's a disproportionate representation of the game of football .

They had Ian Wright at the women's euros? And the odd ex manager (who were men)

Will be an enjoyable gulag'ing, this fella

Great start.

Struga Vs. Zalgiris loss of picture.

Swerve for me.

Most female commentators are bad. Most male commentators are also bad. Where I think this approach often does women no favors is by pushing them front and center without the experience most good commentators develop by working their way up the ladder. This happens with men, as well.

Take college basketball over here, for instance. Steve Lavin was awful when he started at ESPN, after getting kicked to the curb by UCLA. By the time he went back to college coaching at St. John's, I was sad because he had become the best analyst they had. Bob Knight himself was wretched. They paid him a ton of money, stuck him on the biggest games and got rid of him the moment the contract was up. There simply wasn't time to turn him into an end product.

Rebecca Lowe, who fronts our NBC Sports coverage of the Prem, is quite good. She also spent a decade in lesser positions before taking the job, and has had plenty of time to settle into her present one. Robin Roberts can call a game anytime, anywhere as far as I'm concerned across a ton of sports, but unfortunately the money and media stature on Good Morning America were hard to turn down.

Looking at TNT's selections, it at least looks like they've at least picked people with proper CVs, rather than sticking novices on games the way ESPN likes to do over here. You're the ones that have been watching them, so you tell me if they're any good. Not everyone who works games or in the studio ever improves on their day one performance. I mute the television every time Jesse Palmer comes on, because if I have to hear that guy spout one more cliche the television might end up with a remote through it.

For what it’s worth, the main 2 are excellent presenters, especially Woods, even if she is flavour of the moment.

They’re all a vast improvement on Ferdinand, Joe Cole, Hoddle and Owen… oh and Humphrey’s.

Only time a female broadcaster will annoy me is if they’re there purely for a tickbox. Yes, I’m talking about Eni Aluko and Karen Carney lol but they offer nothing other than them loving the sound of their own voice.

Other than that, no problem at all.

I thought Gabby Logan was good, I remember her rollling her eyes every time Garth Crooks was taking his usual tosh, trying to contradict her.

Lots of brilliant ones tbh, but they usually do better when they’re presenters.

Logan, Woods and all of the new TNT team all genuinely know their stuff which I like.

It’s just when they bring in ex-Players where the stupidity kicks in. Same applies for the fellas tbh. I.e. Garth Crooks

They don't sound right,voices are too high pitched to make it as commentators.

Men or women ?

 

[magicjuan]

I’m not sure if you’re aware but whether they have tits or a cock all the presenters are terrible.

What about both you big genderist hate enabler

 

[from_the_eighties]

Men or women ?

Act your age fella

Grow up

 

[COYBL25]

Act your age fella

It was a genuine question, some fellas have high pitched voices too.

Take Jamie Carragher for instance, he sounds like someone’s jammed his balls in a vice.

 

[LEONARD]

I don't care if it is presented by 3 transgender dwarfs, I will not be watching.

The football coverage will be dominated by the RS, and 'top' other 5 teams.
