Catholic Guilt Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 The pointdexter with the horrible tan suit? I closed my eyes and heard Steve Carell from the Office calling the game. He was bad and I like Carell's humor. Thoughts TBD nation?
Buftex Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 Not sure who he sounds like, but he looks like a darker Mike Lupica! Actually, I am likely in the minority on this, but I think, overall, OLN has done a pretty good job with the NHL. The guys doing the game are pretty knowledgable, and call a fair game...they obviously don't have the budget that ESPN had, but I kind of like the simple presentation....

Commentators were alright with the exception of all the football references. Tight end. Tight end. Tight end.

I think I've got too many trees in the way of the SW sky, but I may get someone to come out and see if they can make it work. My cable system got rid of the NFL Network, and now I find out that Bravesvision doesn't exist anymore Might be a good time to ditch the cable

Tight end. Tight end. 668570[/snapback] Does anyone know which network's (of the 4 networks broadcasting the game last night) camera crews worked the game last night. I haven't watched the entire MSG broadcast yet, but for the "Carubba Collisions" shown on the Jumbotron, the camera work was horrible. I don't know if OLN gets to put in their crew or if it was MSG's because it was a Buffalo home game. If it was MSG cameramen, I'm thinking several regulars scheduled vacation for this weekend. I actually don't hate OLN's broadcasts but do hate Brickley and Edwards. Beneditti (sp?) and Eliot are decent (not great, but there are several that are much worse) and I've actually gotten used to the "Rangers" broadcasters over the years (don't love them, but can tolerate them). The only broadcasters besides RJ and Jim that I do really like are CBC's crews and surprisingly the LA Kings' crew.
