	Tuesday's mailbag: OLN's on-air talent, doping, Tour history, left field and The Great Gazoo
		Yesterday, Al wondered aloud why there weren't more camera shots of Lance, which is comparable to wondering why baseball doesn't show continuous footage of Sammy Sosa in the field waiting for a ball to be hit to him; or sitting on the bench waiting for his turn at bat.
		Al, there's a game going on out there, and the cameras are where the action is. Lance is just waiting for his turn at the plate, which will come soon enough.
		It seems to me that Al's job is to ask questions that someone who is new to the sport might ask, in order to better educate the American public about the sport of cycling.

	Al Trautwig: An Underrated Treasure
		When I first began listening to Trautwig, I was upset by his lack of a deep knowledge of baseball, but as I listened to him over a period of time, I noted how often he would ask fellow Yankees broadcasters Jim Katt and Ken Singleton extremely perceptive questions.
		Trautwig acknowledged that there were nuances to the game that Katt or Singleton understood and could explain better than he could.
		Trautwig makes no pretense to be a baseball expert, and that is so refreshing.

	Tour de France 2006: Is there a US cycling commentator curse?
		Al Trautwig, however, is the bully of the bunch, constantly putting down Bob for a to elevate himself, and the viewer picks up on his insecurity and subtle hostility very easily.
		Posted by: ronster at Jul 12, 2004 3:16:16 PM I have to say, I like Al Trautwig on other sports, where he is perhaps more knowledgable and comfortable but pretty much ignore him the rest of the time.
		Posted by: suraya at Jul 21, 2004 3:45:23 PM Al Trautwig has done a great job, he could talk a little less but in all the only person that could have done better would be Brian Williams.

	Runner's & Triathlete's Web Triathlon: Trautwig and Liggett talk about NBC Ironman TV Special

	Kirsten Gum or Al Trautwig
		al knows squat about cycling, on those primetime shows bob roll is talking to him like he is 5 and tries to explain cycling to him, in laymans terms......kirsten gum was much better
		Al's commentary is like nails on a flboard to me. Kirsten was way better with Bob last year.
		Al doesn't and his statement about how "boring" the first week was just re-enforces the feeling that he doesn't want to care.

	A Sox Fan in Hell - May 19th, 2006
		Sheq and I were buzzing pretty well when he spotted Trautwig a few sections away with a camera crew, looking for a place to do one of those in-game fan close-up schmaltz pieces.
		OVER HERE, AL!!" Trautwig looks up, clearly pleased to be recognized, and spots Sheq, who's still calling out his name and beckoning him over.
		This is one of my wife's favorite stories and whenever she sees Trautwig on TV she starts screaming "HEY AL!" feel free to do this as well.

	Long Island History: Al Trautwig
		Not long ago, sportscaster Al Trautwig and his young son Alex ventured into one of the hangouts of his youth: Centurion Pizza on Nassau Boulevard in Garden City South.
		Trautwig, who attended Franklin Square's Washington Street Elementary School, recalls that ``an awful lot of my life revolved around the old Island Garden,'' the arena where he would become a ballboy for the New York Nets of the American Basketball Association.
		Trautwig attended H. Frank Carey High School in Franklin Square and, through his job with the Nets, met Islanders' trainer Fritz Massman.

		Luke Steele, the Hawks' video coordinator, relayed Trautwig's bogus report to Arthur Triche, the Hawks' VP of public relations, who was in the Garden.
		Trautwig, through MSG, acknowledged that Holman corrected him, but claims that he accepted the version told him by Hawks' assistant coach Herb Brown — the Hawks saw the movie in Washington, then lost by 31.
		As for his chat with Triche, Trautwig, again through MSG, said that while he acknowledged telling him that the Hawks' video coordinator should mind his own telecast, he characterized the exchange with Triche, whom he has known for years, as friendly and good-natured.

	Enjoying TDF 2004
		Unfortunately Al’s inane prattle and annoying voice makes the primetime show nearly unwatchable despite the fact that it is co-hosted with the always entertaining Bob Roll.
		OLN apparently brought in Al because he supposedly was going to better appeal to American audiences but I think he looks like a fish, his broadcasting technique stinks like a fish and Kirsten despite her cheerleader-like over-enthusiasm was much better and a heck of a lot easier on the eyes.
		Al Trautwig is OLN's concept of "Big Time Television Sports Voice." This is the same problem that whoever was doing it two years ago and Kirsten last year was supposed to solve: we can't leve Bob Roll alone in front of a camera.

	Can’t Stop The Bleeding » Flip Your (Traut)wig : MSG’s Al Is Fact-Phobic
		Before the game, Hawk radioman Steve Holman ran into MSG Network’s Al Trautwig, incidentally, a fellow given to on-air lectures about responsible journalism.
		Trautwig, Holman told The Post, was laughing at a story he’d just heard: The Hawks had seen “Glory Road” while in Washington, then were so inspired that they lost by 31 to the Wizards.
		Near the end of the first quarter, Trautwig told his MSG audience that “Glory Road” cast members were in the house, adding that the Hawks had seen the movie in Washington — then were hammered by 31.

	Trautwig's team packs telling punch
		Much of the credit should go to announcer Al Trautwig, who is distinguishing himself as a master storyteller - a Bud Greenspan on deadline.
		Trautwig was working with a relatively obscure event and with athletes generally not known outside cycling.
		Add Trautwig's treatment of the athletes, and his pace in telling the story, and this race became a memorable event.

		Al extols the virtues of Svetlana by uttering, “Svetlana always seems like she’s putting on a performance Because she probably is.”
		Al’s mates in the announcer’s box, Elfie and Tim, are gymnasts from National and Olympic record books who gently attempt to school Al’s understanding of the sport with the use of subtle innuendo over blatant declaration.

		I had to rofl when they told me the story of Bobke telling Al (with a straight face) that riders had a catheter inserted and an "evaporation device" on their backs in answer to one of Al's many naive questions.
		Al Trautwig has also made an infinite number of mispronuciations during the us open.

		When Paul Hamm was rebounding to win the men's gymnastics all-around competition Wednesday, NBC's Al Trautwig noted how Hamm had gone from training in a Wisconsin barn to being an Olympic gold medalist.
		Although Trautwig understands that some of his friends in baseball, basketball and hockey are not into the Olympics, "From the very beginning I learned to love the Olympics," he said.
		Trautwig's attention to appropriate use of words was evident in Hamm's comeback from a serious fall Wednesday.

		John explained that they have a crew of 83 people in France, and about another 22 back in the US, dedicated to their TDF production, responsible for creating 340 hours of tv coverage (up from 280 last year).
		Trautwig and Roll will report from the studio, while cycling greats Phil Liggitt and Paul Sherwen will give their expert analysis from the sidelines of the punishing 2,110-mile course.
		Trautwig and Roll's approach will aim to make sense of some of the more complicated aspects of the Tour, rewinding key moments and using a telestrator to explain what is happening.

	Al Trautwig ordering a Super Value Meal...
		Sports commentators who don't know what it is like to have renew the extraordinary commitment to match the pace of the other guy (or beat him) with every pedal stroke or step are never going to be able to talk about it.
		Trautwig doesn't have any meat, and he tries to make up for it with more bun.
		What that boy needs is to do a nice long endurance event (six hours or so) where if he loses the draft it's game over, with his continued employment dependent on making the ever-more-difficult time cutoff.
