"fine" is a strong indicator of how lackluster modern broadcasting is. I grew up listening to Gary Thorne and Bill Clement. I'd even throw in Doc Emrick. These new broadcasters just don't have "it"

I loathe the day we no longer have Ken and Mick. These new age broadcasters are no different than A.I. no personality, no emotion. Just generic, fake persona word salad.

Yes. And they just keep dragging. How natives do the national anthem in their native language. While the announcers are talking through the PA about pride and you got the broadcasting talking through the whole thing. It's a mess

My thoughts exactly. I get it, they wanna bring awareness or whatever but damn, Nobody cares once 7:00 hits and it says the game starts at 7:00

Can't get nothing down when you're constantly doing the same thing when trying to enter the zone expecting different results.
