@awfulannouncing @bkoo Like the Jenkins piece, this refers to “the McEnroes” but only really gives a meaningful criticism of John. Are there other commentators in sports that we’ve lazily fused like John and Patrick into a monolith and ignored that they are two separate people? @KaplanSportsBiz

Andy Roddick’s Wimbledon analysis proves it’s time for the McEnroe era at ESPN to end awfulannouncing.com/tennis/andy-ro…

@KrisBudden @espn Everyone can tell your love of the sport compared to some of your other new colleagues who are just there as another assignment. I remember you calling college matches on LHN. 🤘

@gaylewhite166 @espn I’m a reporter. Not an analyst. I’m not breaking down forehands. I’ve never played football, basketball or baseball either but I also report on all those sports. Same as when Tom Rinaldi was on our coverage

With all the great analysis thru the years courtside for @espn with Pam, Stubbs and Maryjo now we have a person doing it who’s never played tennis? Make it make sense espn? @KrisBudden is not a tennis analyst Where are your true tennis people?

@sportsrapport Wasn’t all the reporting this past week was that FIFA was looking for more consolidation in the next deal, with English and Spanish rights combined?

Question isn’t about fans It’s whether FIFA could get more money selling all the games to one entity or whether they could make more having 2-3 rights holders MLS and UFC have one partner, every other big American pro sport has multiple

@JimmyTraina Sal calling Jason Benetti “Benitendi” was Doggie-level

@RichOToole Lot of bad recommendations being given. Go to Taqueria de Diez about a mile south of the venue on Lamar.

Playing the Saxon Pub in Austin,TX tonight. Where should I grab tacos before the show?

@awfulannouncing Does the writer of this know not how any of this works? Amazon was just contracted to show a straight window of coverage produced by the same people that produce every other main window, including CBS’s. That’s why it was the same.

Amazon learned a lesson from Netflix's MLB opening night coverage and stayed out of the way at the Masters. awfulannouncing.com/golf/amazon-pr…

@Served_Podcast And to think, Andy didn’t even know who this was a couple of days ago!

ELITE sportsmanship from Spizzirri. Wow

@paulsen_smw Lefkoe has been doing some pretty cringey, overenthusiastic stuff all week, but maybe it just stands out more because we’re used to the sameness in tennis coverage all these years.

TNT is better at the studio thing than anybody. At the French Open, their approach just brings more out of all involved -- even players who stop by the set (and tennis players are not always bursting with charisma.) Though I wonder if most viewers just want to see live tennis.

@jon_wertheim Befuddling decision by TNT to make zero mention of it on the linear broadcast.

The most well-deserved ceremony….

@RFCJamie_ @Adam02144644 I think it's that they're in someone's cart and the purchase hasn't been completed. Other people have said to refresh, but I had success by staying on this screen, then selecting the quantity and trying to add to cart over and over again. Eventually they were freed and I got it.

@Adam02144644 been having this issue quite a lot unfortunately, but when you put two tickets and add to basket, it gives you the insufficient tickets crap. do you think the tickets have gone and the website hasn’t been updated. 🤷‍♂️

Some ticket availability now for days 2 and 3 #Wimbledon
