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.

    Thoughtful response and insightful, thanks.

    If still feels like there’s a niche for a broadcast that does take on the challenge of difficult live analysis. Like there’s a chance for someone to deliver that content.

    I mentioned tony romo calling out reads in another comment. Give that guy a marker and a dry erase board overlay.
