styles of studio sports punditry

Third option runaway winner.

You British are so behind...

everyone jerks around, I suppose. It's tiring but it's like an eternal eyeroll with Costas when he had his show, or Gumbel's Real Sports...but when you really think about it, it's sort of a tough choice.

i voted howie jimmy terry billy tommy bobby buddy

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Aimless is from portland iirc JTMATROHB

i have no idea what yr talking about

there's the whole chris berman "holds his hands out reassuringly when he's approaching a mild challop"

"So you look at you look at these two quarterbacks and you see that Roethlisberger HAS the experience but *puts hands out and slightly down, waves them gently* Rodgers has the hot hand and maybe in this case HE would be the better quarterback?" *gestures with one hand gently, the other mildly retreats back to his body*

trent dilfer always turns and addresses the camera
terry bradshaw swivels around in his chair like each turn squeezes a little gentle moonshine nectar into his coffee
howie long stares into space, adjusts his glasses, glances thoughtfully at the pencil in his hand, then nods almost imperceptibly

boomer esiason pundits like a convicted rapist telling the judge he would gladly do it again
dan marino is just clearly a fucking idiot
james brown just smiles like he can't believe he gets paid for this shit

option 2 is my favorite

boomer esiason is the WORST of the WORST

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

seems like we need to educate a lot of ppl

NFL Total Access can be the weirdest for this, since dukes & woodson only talk to the host unless they're presenting their own sections, but there'll sometimes be a non-regular who'll go ahead and talk to cam with the jerky switch technique.

dilfer also starts by talking to the presenter/moderator and then slowly turns to face the camera and he tends to talk like he's trying to explain to his son why he just grounded him, and doing it in a way that indicates he thinks his son is stupid for not knowing the reason, yet is a model of patience nonetheless.

lolll

all british (and irish) stuff like this is in the "documentary style", btw, which is maybe what jimmy the mod was getting at

what do they do in oz?

make shitty jokes abt women and generally bloke it up

hahahaha
