Momma There Goes That Man Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 NBA on CBS a long time ago: That NBA on NBC theme was such a staple of my early childhood. Man I miss that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinswillwin06 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 They wouldn't even play that theme for the Olympics. Roundball Rock is dead as disco. In 2008 they played it sparingly. I would tune in to the non USA games just to hear it. But yeah in 2012 it was no where to be found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuposse87 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 ESPN is terrible overall outside of their documentary series...but I have hard time actually thinking positively about anything associated with Murdoch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinfan2k Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 NBC and CBS/Turner will make a big push when the NBA deal ends with ESPN. Honestly i think the NBA hates their decision to move to ESPN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinswillwin06 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I'm not sure what the first minute of this is supposed to be, but the second minute is awesome. Also was not aware Greg Gumbel did NBA on NBC games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsmarydu Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 ESPN is terrible overall outside of their documentary series...but I have hard time actually thinking positively about anything associated with Murdoch. Let's see....they'll call the losing team winners until the very end of the game, and then a commentator goes nuts trying to reverse the score?

DCranon21 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 NBC and CBS/Turner will make a big push when the NBA deal ends with ESPN. Honestly i think the NBA hates their decision to move to ESPN To be honest, I hope it goes back to NBC. CBS lost everyone back in the early 90s who would cover it when NBC received the deal. I can't see Brent Mustberger and Tommy Heinson calling games on a Sunday afternoon, especially since Brent left CBS for ABC years ago. Also Dick Stockton and Hubie Brown are with TNT/FOX and ESPN respectively and can't see them going back. I would love either station, because the ESPN coverage sucks.

ixcuincle Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 @richarddeitsch 3:17 PM Fox Sports 1 has landed popular TSN anchors @JayOnrait and @tsnotoole for its SportsCenter equivalent: bellmediapr.ca/tsn/releases/r… This tier is really weird. I can get Big Ten Network and Fox Sports 1 / "Speed", but I can't get FSC, NFL, or NHL network. Don't know how cable companies determine who goes on their basic package or not, but that's a discussion for another thread. All I know is that I'll be getting this new upstart network which looks to challenge ESPN. And they just signed two big Canadian superstars.
