I spend an inordinate amount of time mowing on the weekends when the daytime games are on, if not for a good headset I would miss most of those games. If I could get it to sync up I would listen to the radio announcers when I'm watching a game, they are more insightful than the TV guys. |

View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Originally Posted By 86Tiger: Originally Posted By AlabamaFan64: I grew up having to listen to games on the radio. Cable wasn’t as available at the time, satellite dishes weren’t a thing yet and there was a limit to the amount of tv games a team could appear in per season.

Listening on radio to a good play by play man is still preferable to me than listening to the dribble from tv guys. But back in the day they could make you feel like it was all happening right in front of you with only words. A good play by play man does make a difference. I’ll admit the radio appeals to me for the nostalgia aspect but most fans are more interested in their team than the opponent, plus their craft is an art compared to TV where commentators are competing with the visual part of the game to stay engaged with the audience. The really good radio teams are even respected by rival fanbases which is unheard of in other sports media, and the average opposing fans can listen to their broadcasts without getting a blood pressure spike. Radio folks overall seem to have kept their love for the sport compared to tv and sportswriters, imo. |
