 The Hoya | Sports on TV Are Better With the Volume Turned Off
Television sports announcers are this century’s version of the abacus and the horse-drawn buggy.
Every once in a while, an announcer might give you a somewhat interesting piece of information, let’s say something like, “Bruce Chen has a 15.43 earned run average against right-handed hitters.” Of course, they also put those statistics in writing at the bottom of the screen, so there’s really no reason to say them either.
It was about the beginning of the third inning of game seven of the ALCS between the Red Sox and the Yankees, and I, with no notion of the disaster to come in that game, experienced a sudden ecstatic revelation.

As everyone now knows, 99% of sports announcers are paid by teams (and networks) to be on-air shills, and their resulting work is now unintentional comedy gold (and is the reason I got out of the biz).
I also spent several years as a sports radio host and Program Director in major markets - and I've heard innumerable radio executives explain low sports radio station ratings by claiming there's a limited audience for the format - which is of course, hogwash.
Pushing the same "hot sports opinion" patter on listeners, and then throwing open the phones to the same set o' callers every day is the reason most sports stations are an automatic tuneout.
