The Sports Media Thread

[Don Ho]

The Cuz is a big Hawaii football fan.  Goes back to the June Jones/Colt Brennen days when he and his brother and nephew would stay up until 4 AM to watch UH games on espn.

I tried listening to Innes a few times and refuse to ever again after those few horrible few minutes of my life were taken from me.  I like Mikey Miss since he's true blue Philadelphia.  Obviously due to the time difference I listen to Big Daddy a lot at night in my office or when I'm walking the dog.  Not a fan of the major radio networks overnight personalities.

Did anyone else catch Ronda Rousey on Sportscenter? 

Tim Kurkjian got arm-barred on the ground by Lindsay Szarniak.  For real.

The farg.

I watched SC the other day for the first time in about a year.  They're trying way too hard to be funny with corny monologue-style ramblings.  Would that network please just go away? 

They're all pretty terrible.  Too much fluff and trying to be something they aren't. 

[Sgt PSN]

And Ronda Rousey would get it.

[PhillyPhreak54]

That's an awful segment

[PhillyPhreak54]

Apparently deadspin's Twitter got suspended bc MLB reported them for posting gifs

Archaic MLB still at it

[ice grillin you]

pretty sure it was the nfl that did it

[PhillyPhreak54]

Yeah I just saw that

Awful either way

lil guy will be here shortly to rant further on old people

[MDS]

i dont know what this has to do with old people, but if youre looking for a rant like that i literally just did one

[ice grillin you]

if you actually care enough to get mad about vines being taken away during live games then you shouldn't be watching sports anyway...do i think it's a smart move no...but I don't give a flying farg either cause guess what I'm watching the actual game instead of a vine...like why are people getting so upset about this?....or is it just the normal fake Twitter outrage

does this ban apply to footage posted to social media after the game is over?

also what about the average joe that does this not a big website like deadspin...it's futile to try and stop it  isn't it?

[PhillyPhreak54]

They yank youtube videos all the time too

And this applies to anything used, during or after games, without their consent

They got SB Nation Gif shut down too

[smeags]

who cares about either one ? watch the games themselves.

[ice grillin you]

i get and enjoy sports vines and gifs...so i think its ridiculous to ban them outright and i dont want them gone during games either....but you would have thought it was the end of the world last night when this all went down

[MDS]

welcome to twitter

making a big deal out of things that arent a big deal

[SunMo]

it wasn't the end of the world it was just remarkable the amount of pettiness from a billion dollar company over 7 second clips.
