What do you guys think of the commentators in ESPN doing the Aussie Open?

Question

I think that they are some of the most bias people I have heard. Pat Mcenroe is a bitter bitter man. A frustrated tennis player. Anyways, I was wondering if anybody else felt the same thing.

Answer 1

I dislike ESPN's coverage in general. They focus entirely too much on two or three players, to the point where they'll play tape-delayed matches instead of covering live matches. There are a few commentators that I'm okay with - Enberg, Carillo, Cliffy, Cahill - but the rest I don't really care for. P-Mac bothers me because he's all about Roddick, all the time. I understand that he's Davis Cup captain, but that's a different job - he needs to leave that out of it. The only time I've liked him this AO was during Roddick's first-round match with Tsonga, where he actually called Roddick out on some of the trash that he was talking.

Answer 2

I think ESPN needs to do more coverage on all tournaments on the WTA and ATP tours. There coverage is poor and they put more attention on the three major sports in the U.S. which is football, baseball and basketball. Also they need to make a separate channel for all the college coverage sports, there are simply too many college teams and it takes forever to retrieve the scores and stats. That makes it even harder to get coverage on Tennis. Pro Golf has their own channel.

Answer 3

Human, just human!
