Since the ESPN announcers refuse to tell us what’s happening in the game
- Thread starter Soaring Eagle 74
- Start date
They'd need to be at the game to actually do a decent job. I'm sick of these "remote announcers". SHOW UP TO THE DAMN GAME!
It’s their job to promote their games featuring the conferences that they own the TV rights to. In addition to the teams that will boost the ratings of the playoffs and the bowl games they own.
It’s all about the money.
Soon legalized gambling will burn this all to the ground.

How does that work for you? I tried doing it the last time Dakish was calling a Michigan basketball game, but the Michigan announcers were a few seconds before the TV game, so had to turn it off, due to knowing what was happening before actually seeing it.
TV audio is somewhat delayed so they can bleep any foul language. Thus, the gap. You're always better off muting Dackish.
There are multiple tools and equipment many links on the internet that will sync your radio to your TV.
Some use...
Delay Radio
Tunein (just pause the tunein link to allow TV to catch up)
I Heart radio
Can also buy a Sport Sync radio for 60 or 70 bucks
I use tune-in. If the app is ahead, I can pause it and let the tv feed catch up

Good info. I'll have to get the wife right on it for me. I remember ruining a WVU NCAA tournament game for a friend one day. I was watching from home, and he had called me from the bar at the Charleston Marriott, and they must have had like a 5 second delay on their TV screens to my home TV, and WVU won at the buzzer, and I told him right before he saw the final play. I'll have to try to figure out what game that was.
I have that same problem with a friend in Oklahoma. My feed is anywhere for 5 seconds to 20 seconds before his. It's crazy. I will be on second down play and he's just watching the play on first down.
Took me a while, but found the game I was talking about. WVU beat Creighton 63-61 in the last seconds of the game. I knew it was the same year they beat Wake Forest in the 2nd round in double OT though, only to blow the big lead against Louisville in the Regional Final.
Ta Da !!!!! Same here.
Even If I can't sync TC to the game, I still turn off the babbling bobbleheads. They don't call the game. They ramble on about inane crap that nobody cares about. These guys think that this what we want to hear. NOT ..... Let me know what is happening in the game.
These idiots on ESPiN ramble on because they don't know how to keep people engaged when they call a game.
Every game has a hypesman trophy candidate, a future HOF coach and best player at whatever’s position they have seen in years.
Once you notice how they promote other games upcoming on their network you see how CONSTANT it is. It's really annoying. I was watching some of Clemson-VT recently and DURING THE GAME they had an interview with Notre Dame QB Ian Book, because of course they're promoting the upcoming BCS games that ESPN or ABC will be televising.
Also, in addition to direct promotion, they do it indirectly by talking about other teams that are playing in upcoming games on ESPN. So they'll do a direct promotion of a game coming up on ESPN and for the next 2-3 plays after that, instead of talking about they plays and showing replays, they discuss the upcoming game that they just did a direct promotion for. ESPN's coverage of football really is awful.
