No shit skip, of course they shouldn’t turn the ball over, or get red cards, or what the fuck ever. Passing gas in the bathroom and think it’s perfume; literally shitty analysis I just heard on ESPN.

Why don’t sports commentators actually break down plays and strategy?

Only one I can think of is jomboy breaks down pitches sometimes. Showed that the pitcher was releasing at the top of the throw for like 4 pitches of sliders then released like 20 degrees sidearm with another slider but because it was released differently it caught the batter and struck them out. Beautiful breakdown and I appreciated the sport and gamesmanship even more.

    aye. they ain’t got time to explain the history of the wildcat offense and how it’s evolved into the 3x3 and bla bla bla cuz half their audience doesn’t care, is drunk, and wants to hear about the play thats going on right now.

    it’s a low level drone until something important happens and i means i need to look at the screen. otherwise watching the whole thing in silence would be weird.

      I would prefer the option to watch in silence (game sounds only), honestly. I love the experience of going to a game and I don’t need people telling me why plays are important or that a player just exceeded some random stat to enjoy it.

        with respect, I believe that’s called the mute button

          I’d still like the game sounds and referee calls, though
