Broadcasting Vacancy!! Who do you want to see next season?

[BigBird]

Let me try again.

1. The sportscasters I cited (Scully, Emrich, Michaels, etc.) are generally held in very high regard in their profession and by fans.

2. All are articulate as they provide thoughtful commentary and insights.

3. None are known to have significant experience as sports participants.

4. It is safe to say they (and many like them) command greater respect than most ex-jocks. There are of course exceptions in both categories (like Dick Vitale and Stephanie White).​

I rest my case.

We agree. I don't care whether one does or does not have "game experience." I take it that you don't either. But to put former athletes (or coaches) on the air who exhibit sub-standard communication skills is, viewed from my recliner, just another irritation. Sorry if I misunderstood your response.

Closer to home, has it been announced who will replace Kerith Burke on the SNY broadcasts?

Now I must wonder if:

Vin Scully ever played baseball
Doc Emrich " " hockey
Al Michaels " " football
Mike Breen/Marv Albert " " basketball​

Surely there are others; of course we know that Doris and Kara played basketball.

Vin Scully was an outfielder for Fordham University.

If it could be worked out, I'd love to see Swin get a shot at this one.

You can say that again!

I believe Swin works for MSG doing the Knicks pregame and after game. I don't know if she can do both or would even want to do both.

I believe she will first fulfill all contractual obligations, then:

follow the money; or,
pursue any new opportunity; or,
obey her gut instinct.

and she do just fine.​

I would be interested if asked.
