Around SBN: LeBron James captivates ignorant media with common sense Bar-right-arrows



>>TWEEET!<< TV Timeout!

TWO interesting things have happened in the last day with media coverage for OSU, and BOTH of them are positive.

Star-divide

 

  1. We won't have to listen to him cry when calls go against oregon on games he is broadcasting.
  2. We won't have to listen to him complain when Oregon State is winning, and especially against oregon--who can forget the sound of Dan Fout's voice when James Rodgers was putting Patrick Chung in his rearview mirror?  
  3. Actually, let's give credit to Fouts: the man is no Joe Giansante, who ACTUALLY cried IN THE PRESSBOX after the ducks lost to the Beavers in 2000.  Jeepers.
  4. Hey, at least neither of them are as bad as Jerry Allen at any given moment. 
  • KEZI has struck upsome kind of marketing and video editing deal with Oregon State. I'm not sure how this will affect the majority of us Beaver fans in Portland, but this is still hilarious.  KEZI doesn't want to work with the local team anymore, so they pick up the superior program instead.  They're going to be doing some video production and various things that sound fun, including videoboard production inside the stadium and producing a coaches show for FSN--so, there's something outside of the stadium for Portland fans. 

Now there will be more Beaver highlights on the nightly news in Eugene, I guess.  Which is good.  I can remember watching Eugene news stations from time to time while going to school (we could pick between Portland or Eugene stations with our bunny ears back in the day) and wanting to slit my wrists to the lopsided coverage they gave the Beavers. 

It was always surprising to me that they willfully alienated so many of the viewers in their broadcast area.  Then again, (noted douchebag) Joe Giansante was working for them.  So it's not really surprising how provincial the sportscasting was down inside the little green bubble.  They've come a long way this week.

You guys prolly don’t remember this as much as we do, but in the Cal-Oregon game last year Dan Fouts was the ONLY person who thought that touchback at the end of the game was a fumble out of bounds.

ABC kept showing replay after replay showing the ball obviously going out of bounds INSIDE the end zone and Fouts had this sort of “Baghdad Bob”ian appreciation of how the Ducks would have the ball at the 1 inch line when all was said and done.

So crazy! Gotta respect him for being honest with his homerism at least.

Duck fans hate Dan Fouts

If you want to know the truth, we think he’s a homer d-bag who gives Oregon a bad name with his burning roots.

And yet another Anti-Duck post...

Dude, what’s your deal? Can’t you go two posts without “blah blah Duck uniforms blah blah Beavers underrated, superior blah blah why will I never get laid blah.”

Less Anti-Duck. More Pro-Beavers.

Actually I'm sorry

That post was very rude of me. Truly sorry about that.

But really, I mean it, more on the Beavers. Duck fans like to check in on the Beavers and see how they’re managing, truth.

"More Pro-Beavers."

That’s something most of us can get behind!

Go Duckies!

He'll always have the opportunity

to become a Just For Men pitchman.

As irritating as Giansante might be, is there anyone worse than Petros Papadakis?

Ha ha! Good one!

Or maybe he can take over for that Billy Mays guy and be WAY TOO EXCITED about cleaning products! :)

Giansante

I would rather have chop sticks shoved into my ears than listen to Giansante. I expect Jerry Allen to be a homer, and that does not bother me. But Joe G. is talks with such a smarthy, arrogant tone to his voice, and everytihng about the Ducks is perfect. Makes you want to puke.

As a Duck fan...

I agree 100%. Giansante is a joke. I like Allen, though he is a MASSIVE homer, but that’s OK with me. I like my radio guys like that. At least Allen is objective most of the time, though excitable. Giansante is not objective, and he flat out sucks as an announcer.
