Yes!  Barry Melrose, the analyst/commentator, was pretty bias.  But it seems he roots for the underdogs.  I've seen him on Sports Center many times ripping on the Wings, Avs, Ducks, any team that's not Canadian...  I think he also has some connection to Boston.  I'm not 100% sure, but I think one of his sons' played hockey there.  I looked at his bio on ESPN.com, but couldn't find anything.

He's still there but, given ESPN's terrible decision to drop the NHL contract, he has precious little to do. He does check in once a week or so to give his two cents on the hockey world but that's about it. If you're a hockey fan, OLN is where it's at in the States and I'm enjoying their Stanley Cup playoff coverage. ESPN can keep their godawful NBA contract and continue to lose viewers like myself. Hockey rules!

Wish I had the rating to be able to give you a mark for bringing this up awesomebill. Week after week Irvin & Jackson (yes Tom Jackson too) have a racial hoedown. They laugh about it all the time but imagine if Steve Young or Jawariski was to go down that road. \n As for ESPN repremanding Irving I actually think it's promoted at ESPN. During baseball season I mute my television due to the one-sided  Joe Morgan. It's not like they're trying to hire intelligent african americans they seem to want contoversy. Warren Moon was one of the better commentators around as was ronnie lott and CBS's James Brown in my opinion is the best of all commentators any color (remember when you 1st watched Fox sports sunday this year and thought something was missing...Brown). Where are they? Really it's a slap in the face to the african american community to allow those mentioned to continue. Although Deion is a bit eccentric i don't ever recall him being bias.\n The best way to ease racial tensions is for those in the media to leave it alone. I agree Irving needs to be fired.

As a native Houstonian, astros fan and statistian of the astros, I know this.  Alan Ashby wanting to return to broadcast the astros games with milo hamilton(who only does homes games).  He as well as lot other people were surprized and shocked to know that he was not offered a contract.  When the Astros were looking for a replacement for Milo Hamilton on the road, two strong candidates emerged during the interview process and the Astros decided to hire both of them. In turn, Ashby was let go, which took him completely off guard.\n\nLarry Dierker, who served as a color analyst on selected broadcasts from 2004-05, will assume a greater role within the club's community development team and will not appear on broadcasts this season. Dierker will assist the community development office with special events, charitable, and promotional projects.

Every single tournament game will be on Sirius.  Also, during football, you will get the games.  Easy enough?

It's a game - not a sport. ESPN puts it on because it makes them money. They would air your aunt Tilly washing her undies if they thoought it would make money.

you need to be a little more specific.... are you asking how does someone already in broadcasting prepare to do a telecast/radio play by play, or are you asking how does one pursue a career in broadcasting?

The CBC Broadcasters, Don Cherry, Ron McLean, Bob Cole and Harry Neale are the ones that can really get it done.  Anyone who watches Hockey Night In Canada would know that, eh?   I miss that living in the Southern USA.  As for the OLN Crew, the team of John Davidson and Mike Emrick is awesome and the MSG crew of Sam Rosen and John Davidson is great.  The former ESPN Crew totally sucks.  The reason why the NHL did not continue their contract is because they don't know how to do any hockey commentating and I'd love Bill Clemment or Barry Melrose or any of those other pompus ESPN Dickheads to read this because it's the truth.  ESPN means "Every SPorts Network".  So, logically they can't do any commentating because they don't know what the hell they are talking about with any sport.  Oh yeah when NBC did it, they just basically took the best of the area and did the commentating that way like John Davidson and Mike Emrick did a lot of games involving teams from the Northeast like the Devils, Rangers, Bruins, and so on.  The Fox Sports Channels I'm still undecided on.  I never watch those enough to really know.  Unless you have NHL Centre Ice or local coverage, Fox Sports is basically worthless.  That's my 2 cents worth.

Here is what he is going to do:\n\nYes, I am officially retiring today," said Flutie, who plans to become a sports analyst for American sports television broadcaster ESPN.\n\nHe will definitely be missed in the NFL. But I doubt that this is the last time you will hear of him. Even though I am a Steelers Fan, I have to admit Flutie was a great asset to the NFL. I hoped I helped. ~Smile

Oops..made a mistake. The championship game is SOLELY being broadcasted on espn2. This means no radio, no internet broadcast, no nothing. Yet again, sorry.

Try communications and attempt to become a reporter for that team, a broadcaster, or media technology. A lot of pro sport teams have these in order to keep their company running and the guys playing. In addition, they want highly trained people in order to fulfill these goals.
