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.
Thought tony romo was good explaining some of the reads he was seeing and why.
Yeah, and I almost used Romo as the example instead of Madden.
But it is important to note that Romo played several years as a high level NFL quarterback and was able to bring his experience to commentating, which requires a very different set of skills.
The ability to understand a sport at a high level and the ability to communicate a person’s knowledge to lay people are two very sought after skills that do not overlap that much.
