Why do sports commentators talk soft bullshit? - eviltoast

No shit skip, of course they shouldn’t turn the ball over, or get red cards, or what the fuck ever. Passing gas in the bathroom and think it’s perfume; literally shitty analysis I just heard on ESPN.

Why don’t sports commentators actually break down plays and strategy?

Only one I can think of is jomboy breaks down pitches sometimes. Showed that the pitcher was releasing at the top of the throw for like 4 pitches of sliders then released like 20 degrees sidearm with another slider but because it was released differently it caught the batter and struck them out. Beautiful breakdown and I appreciated the sport and gamesmanship even more.

  • If you want analysis, you’re not going to find it on television. You’re more likely to find written analysis from experts, and occasionally some video breakdowns.

    As for American football, Brian Baldinger puts his breakdowns on the website formerly known as Twitter. JT O’Sullivan has a YouTube Series called QB School that is very informative. It’s out there, but you’ve gotta look for it.
