Sports fan, overly sarcastic. If it's sport I'm likely talking about it (mainly Darts/AFL/NRL/Soccer).
Oh and from time to time I write and talk about the beautiful game...even if I have a face for radio and a voice for print.

I may have watched the most bizarre game of curling I've seen in I can't remember how long. I for sure thought Dunstone was going to force Jacobs to 1 and an extra end. Instead missed em all and Jacobs is 1 away from the Olympics.

I also have to say well done CBS flipping the shot normally used at OneOk field for FC Tulsa local broadcasts. It actually looks like a proper (if narrow) pitch without seeing that outfield void. #usl-c

Now that was a shot across the bow by the players and players union.

The one thing that angers me watching a sporting event on TV: knowing you can hear an atmosphere from a ground...and hearing it so muted it sounds like nothing.
USL production has to get better at making an atmosphere shine in live play.

I might be aging myself ALOT HERE, but I think I just witnessed what Nolan Richardson's 40 minutes of hell would have looked like on a football pitch. Good grief New Mexico United, you had NO ANSWER for playing out the back right into that full pitch press.
