OT: The Other Sports Thread Part XI

[GoodKiwi]

What a TD throw by Mahomes!

 

[peate]

For all of you watching MNF, how do you think this seasons' broadcast compares to the one of the last year?

Better, worse, or same garbage?

RDS for me.

Mahomes is killing it s usual.

 

[GoodKiwi]

RDS for me.

Mahomes is killing it s usual.

I got money on KC at +4.0.

Other than that, just hoping for a good game and it has been so far.

Better but not great. Booger McFarland was terrible last year.

Booger was the worst, I agree.

I wish ESPN pumped more artificial crowd noise into the sound.

Great, now that’s all I hear now.

 

[GoodKiwi]

Great, now that’s all I hear now.

The announcers' voices are way too elevated compared to the artificial noise that's being pumped. Feels empty and hollow. FOX has done it way better so far IMO.

I really haven’t paid attention on other broadcasts to the pumped in crowd noise. I’ll have to next week.

I could watch Mahomes play every day of the year and never get tired of it.

 

[GoodKiwi]

A blown coverage, but still

 

[peate]

That's almost obscene.

 

[GoodKiwi]

That's almost obscene.

You could appreciate it even more on the replay seeing the spin on that ball thrown.

 

[GoodKiwi]

About the only thing that didn't work for KC in the first half was Butker.

 

[GoodKiwi]

Could be the break BAL needed to turn this around.

 

[peate]

Seat squirming time.

 

[peate]

Chiefs end the Raven's 14 game regular season win streak. Mahomes is the best QB in the league right now.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Eugenie Bouchard wins her match in the French Open today. She is off to the third round. I didn't catch the entire match, but the little I did see, she looked very good.

She lost the first set in a tie break. Then she won the next two sets to win the match.


On the men's side, disappointment for Auger-Aliassime as he lost in the first round. Pospisil lost in his first round match, too.

Shapovalov, however, is in the second round.

Talk about baseball overload. There's like a game starting every hour. First one started at noon.

 

[Le Tricolore]

First Padres playoff game in 14 years about to start. I'm excited. GO PADRES!

 

[Adam Michaels]

Shapovalov just lost in the third round.

So now I focus all my attention on my Greeks (Tsitsipas & Sakkari).

 

[GoodKiwi]

Thursday Night Football anyone?

 

[peate]

Thursday Night Football anyone?

For some odd reason, I'm watching baseball and kinda enjoying it. I think it's the RDS crew.

Will switch over maybe.

 

[Le Tricolore]

Sports are dumb.

Had no idea it was on RDS. I just switched. The commentary was f***ing terrible. It was like listening to a Cardinals podcast.
