Just Watch like 20 Mins of of FSN or Sports Center every night.  Those dudes throw out tons of jargon.  Or just watch some games.

Okay, I was had, and I am dumb A couple of readers have written in (and my thanks to them) to tell me that the “fight” between Michael Strahan and Tom Arnold on The Best Damn Sports Show was, in fact, an April Fools Joke. My congratulations to everyone involved. I didn’t think those guys were capable of such a quality ruse.\n\nSome commentors made some pretty good points about the inauthenticity, too. You’re a clever bunch, Deadspinners.\n\nThe entire set-up was a ruse, too. Tom Arnold didn’t even write a book. They went all out with this thing. Giants head coach Tom Coughlin and general manager Ernie Accorsi were briefed ahead of time that it would be happening, so they wouldn’t flip out.\n\nWell done, Best Damn Sports Show.

Ozzie called Jay Mariotti a F*g cuz Mariotti is always on Ozzies back!  Writing crap day after day in the Sun Times about the Sox but and NEVER going to Comisky to support them.  He is the WORST sports writer ever.  He is so "back and forth" with his "opinions" from one week to the next for almost all Chicago sports teams.  He could write an article saying he agrees with (for example) Scott Skiles (bulls) about some game when he sat a player and then the next day COMPETELY printing the reverse. I read the Sun Times every day - from back to front- (sports to headlines) and I tell you what - if Mariotti never wrote another piece it would be fine by me.  I DONT READ HIS CRAP ANYWAY.  It is skipped over daily.  He started this s**t and now he's whinning once again!!!    SHUT UP ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!!!!!!

I think the best way to improve the commentary on most sports would be for them to stop talking.  Most of the stuff the commentators say is just pure bull shit and it puts you off enjoying the sport.

It's from ESPN.  It's really easy to set up and it's free.  You could even win stuff!

I'll go with Joe Umpire's answer.  Seems thorough and comprehensive enough.  But I'd like to add that major league umpires always get the call wrong, in every case, and are the most obnoxious and confrontational of any of the sports.  That's why everyone hates them.  They should go away.  Future, please come, and bring your robo-umps with you.  Thank you.\n\n--J.

i agree they have no clue. they are afraid to talk about waht is really going on in the match because they have pre picked favorites. not only that but the commentators they use have little experience in the big leagues and dont know alot of their stuff too well. if they could just comentate more like the mexicans or the brits they would make the game more exiting. the other thing is that they dont show any energy for the game and focus just on past numbers and not whats going on. last but not least they are affraid to speak their mind something that in england or mexico is quite common.

Tony is great on his radio show and on PTI. The MNF gig is not his thing just yet. I think he feels confined because the show is based solely on football. He is best when he is able to talk about several subjects. Also people think that he is there for comic relief. The problem with that is you have to have good set up men to allow that to show. Theisman is a cardboard announcer and Tirico takes his color commentary too seriously. Let Kornheiser get in on some analysis, he sometimes sounds better than Theisman, and allow for him to let loose sometimes. If ESPN lets him come back next season, he should be better prepared.

All i could find was this written in 2002:\n\n\nAlas, Houston sports information director Rick Poulter told me nobody there has heard from Benny since the early 1990s, when he was playing in South America. Then I called the only "Anders" listed in Bernice, La. (his hometown), and spoke with Benny's grandma. What the sweet old lady said broke my heart. "I haven't heard from Benny in three months," she explained. "If you find him, tell him I'd love to hear from him." \n\nJournalistic obligations aside, I couldn't bear to ask Benny's grandma any more questions about what he's been up to. So, Benny, if you're reading this: Give your grandma a call. She's worried about you.

last year it was abc, but abc lost the out so now it is on ESPN. Sorry to report this, since it sounds to me you either do not get ESPN or do not like ESPN.

it sucks...people responded poorly to my question as well....I DON'T WANT OFFICIALS TO BE CALLED ON DURING THE GAME...let them make their bad calls..they're gonna do that anyway...but if they make a GAME deciding call and it is controversial...get the press conference and make them  defend it...and justify or apologize for the bad call...

I consider baseball a great game, but watching it on TV can be tough.  It is, after all, a leisurely game, designed to be viewed in a park on a suuny day.  It affords you and your companion to discuss the game and its strategies, to keep score, to get a beer during a particularly long at-bat.\n\nThanks to TiVo, I now record most of the games I watch on TV.  That way, I can speed it up as much as I like.

It was very amusing. In fact it made me laugh my a$$ off. Remember though, for all his theatrics he did not bump, touch, or physically make contact with an umpire. Nor did he throw anything at an umpire. It was really more show than harmful. \n\nBasically he performed a montage of Managers anger at umpires greatest hits incorporating scenes from past arguments from experts like Lou Pinella, Billy Martin, and Larry Bowa... \n\nHe probaqbly doesn't even deserve his one week suspension, but because of the widespread play of it, they had very little choice.\n\nIMHO his comments after the game about how terrible the umpires are was a worse crime than his heat of the moment theatrics on the field.
