Shearer9 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 5 games on ESPN Classic (including opening match) not in HDTV. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicago_shearer Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I checked and you're right. Do you know what they are showing instead of the opening match on the HD channels? On ESPN HD: 'Today at the Belmont Stakes' and another f***ing episode of SportsCenter. On ESPN 2 HD: Funkmaster Flex Car Wars, Road to the Omaha Super Regionals (?) and NASCAR qualifying. Funkmaster Flex Car Wars. This bloody country. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearer9 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I'm still excited about the tournament, and I think the football community is actually encouraged by good early signs from ESPN. They made some really good commercials (found here: http://youtube.com/user/chesterg1), from the schedule it looks like they'll have more than 5 mins for pre and post game shows, they have a nightly recap (which they've not done before for a major tournament), they have tournament preview shows on now, and they're showing multiple Euro finals on ESPN classic all this week. But we all know what will happen when Dave O'Brien and co. get on the air and open their mouths.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 [flash=200,200] Class. Never saw that one. I like the Italian one the best, I think. German music always makes me think some shit is about to go down. Love the commercials. JP Dellacamera is coming! Fuck that. We want Shep!! Is Wynalda still with ESPN? He's not all that great, but his cynicism and douchery is first class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Love Wynalda. He was great during the WC when he spent the entire group phase ripping Arena and when he pretty much challenged Giorgio Chinaglia to a fight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 It's when seeing commercials like these the fact that Norway didn't make it to the EC thanks to a strike from Emre, not to mention having a twat as our keeper, comes back and haunts me. Damn I wish we'd made it, even if we'd only get buttraped like usual in the group stage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JamesD Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 When ESPN covered a NY game, you could hear the fans in the background chanting something about Wynalda's wife(think it was ' If you fucked wynalda's wife, clap your hands *clap clap*'). It was sweet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearer9 Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Cue the obligitary post about how shite ESPN's coverage always tends to be. I'm about ready to strangle Julie Foudy, Steve Bunin, and this other guy, Will something, that they've got on the desk now. Within 30 seconds of coming on, he'd already made 2 mistakes "Welcome to ESPN's coverage of the EUFA Euro 2000....I've got Julie Foudy here to my left along with Andy.........(about a 5 second pause here)..........Gray." Bunin was the worst yesterday, constantly making mistakes with no clue what she was talking about, and of course Foudy knows nothing about the game or commentary. Smyth and Rae have been okay, Smyth hasn't been as annoying as usual. They've actually put together a good team with Andy Gray and Adrian Healy.

Mike Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I can't believe I made it all the way through a Healy match. The desk guy was horrible yesterday. Smyth hasn't said "Bulge the ol onion bag!" yet either. Smyth and Rae are the best team we have, I think. Gray has been great, I have to say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray has just added a level of professionalism that you don't usually get with Yank football coverage. Really pleased so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
