Not everyone is James Duthie and that's okay....but they try and force everyone into that role. (And I don't necessarily always find Duthie funny, but you get my point) The best, IMO, will always be Randorf. Didn't try too hard...

The schtick has been around for a few seasons and is terrible. They’re clearly being asked/encouraged to do it.

Yeah, I think her inspiration is Jay and Dan because that's the environment she came up in. When they were absolute stars and on their way to the US. Kind of like Fajardo trying to run Mahomes playbook. You can call the play but really only the one guy can execute that act, I say one guy because to me it's always been mostly Jay. Dan is just a great straight man.

For years they had Randorf, Shultz, Climie, Dunigan, et al. And they were professional and traditional “newscasters”. So when they broke a bit and cracked jokes with each other, it was rare and funny. Now instead of focusing on the game and allow it to occur naturally, they’re planning the bits and talking about the game as a secondary measure. And when they do, it’s all screaming over each other that no one can even hear. It’s not worth watching anymore.

I mean O’Toole I think could have been ok - but we saw what happened to him. Hedger must not want to do it.

September 3, 20231 yr comment_657769 Not to derail this game thread... And I know I'm in the minority, but I really never understood Jay and Dan. I just don't get the forced awkward comedy. As was mentioned earlier the old school professional broadcasting style of the original crew is more what I like, and when they do something funny it's rare and hilarious. Anyone remember the panel watching a clip of big Joe Montford attempting to chase down a fumbled ball and Dunigan yelling at the monitor "C'mon Joe! Get it Joe!!" ?? It was our of nowhere and hilarious.

It's funny TSN runs a separate version of SC against Jay's every night and on the morning loop so I guess I'm not alone. I do enjoy his NFL coverage though, and their podcast stuff over the years. Fajardo can't hit the intermediate stuff. Quick slant, screen, or deep.

September 3, 20231 yr comment_657775 Jay onrait did the morning show in wpg a lot of years ago, when local tv had such a thing. Think it was his first big job. City tv maybe. along with a comedy side kick, forget name. Edited September 3, 20231 yr by Mark F
