So this is the first time I have been able to watch MLU live and I am
quite impressed with the coverage and commentary. I wish this would
have been around 20 years ago...might have made a couple highlight
reels as well....kudos to the coverage!

Considering that there was nothing and i mean no coverage what so ever
and now we have live streaming of games with commentary and
replays....I think that is freaking great. Why do you always have to
piss on peoples' cereal asshole. I am beginning to understand why you
are such a douche....

That's no excuse for the commentor to do a sloppy job.
Lack of respect for the players, lack of respect for
the audience.

Don't really want to get into the middle of this, but I have
to ask, "Do you have any play by play experience yourself?
Perhaps a clip you could share with us in which you are
doing a better job than the guy you are heckling?"
Now I realize he is a "professional" who is getting paid,
and you are just you, but actually he is probably a
"semi-professional" who really isn't getting paid anything
substantial.

You can be critical without being harsh

---you try it....or...just shut up.
either one...

try talking about everyone on the field like ya know them perfectly.
ya probably couldn't do it for the teams
that...you....never...played...for....?
ya certainly couldn't do it for a bunch of teams and people that you
aren't used to talking about.

If you're in charge of describing/commenting a game, at the
very least you should learn most of the player names and #
beforehand....from both teams, not just the home side.

Just staring at a tiny low res screen at home, I was able to
pick up the many mistakes he did (e.g. confusing Dandurand
for Gailits for 70 % of the game) or could clearly identify
all the players without seeing their numbers.

If a total-nobody-know-nothing like me can do it, I really
don't see how you can excuse that.

So here's my constructive feedback: learn the rosters, not
just the team mascot.

A commentor who doesnt know the players is like a ref who
doesnt know the rules.
