I don't get Yankees games on the radio out where I live so thankfully no. But they do have one of their t.v. announcers that gets kind of ridiculous.You ever hear the bloke that calls the Yankee's games for the radio? (Not sure if he still does, certainly was a few years ago) Always a good laugh at how childish and into it he got, dude must of been in his 70's.
Hedging his bets
* ‘I think United will just win the game, although a draw wouldn’t surprise me.’
* ‘I wouldn’t be shocked if this ended in a draw but I fancy Liverpool to get the win.’
* ‘I see Chelsea winning, although I’m not 100 percent sure.’
Conclusion: Paul Merson’s not really got the hang of predictions.
i actually like the fact that pundits are open in their preferences for some teams and support them, except if its ott and they are never critical for their own teams or always down the rivals because that would be like listening to fans in the pubEveryone who is deep enough in the bowels of working for a sporting network of course has boyhood clubs/teams they supported, I do agree. But I do think it is reasonable to drop the bias for their professionalism.
If you can't be 100% objective then you shouldn't be a pundit.i actually like the fact that pundits are open in their preferences for some teams and support them, except if its ott and they are never critical for their own teams or always down the rivals because that would be like listening to fans in the pub
Easy, killer. Hawk is not a pundit. He is an announcer. Employed by the White Sox. And he is the first to admit he is an adamant 'homer'. And lifelong White Sox fans, like myself, fucking adore him.Yea, all games in all sports (except for American Football) have home and away commentating unless the game is on prime time television where the whole country is watching the same broadcast feed. In that case it's usually pretty unbias for the most part. Even the home commentating can be pretty unbias, there are a few famous homers out there in sports, particularly with baseball that is the exception to the rule. One of the most famous is Hawk Harrelson who calls the games for the Chicago White Sox. When saying the score before the commercials start he'll say, "Good guys 3, bad guys 5". Haha what a loser he is.
Never forget. Fuck AJ and fuck Doug Eddings.Easy, killer. Hawk is not a pundit. He is an announcer. Employed by the White Sox. And he is the first to admit he is an adamant 'homer'. And lifelong White Sox fans, like myself, fucking adore him.
You're not still upset about the dropped third strike, are you?

What a bollox Merson isHe also predicted a Chelski victory over Stoke. At the Brit. Not like Merse to go against Stoke at home. He must be off his game this week.
Wenger was embroiled in a doping controversy of his own in 2011, when the former Woolwich midfielder Paul Merson told the French magazine So Foot that “on the night before big games we would go to a Holiday Inn in Islington where a yellowy product was injected into our arm. I never asked any questions. From the moment you trust a manager you take everything he asks you to.”
At the time an Woolwich spokesman said the substance was a “simple multivitamin injection”, while Wenger angrily denied the story, saying: “If you find one player who I asked to take an injection to play one game, no matter how big the game was, I would resign tomorrow morning.”
