Clive Tyldsley axed as main ITV Commentator

CBS, I presume that because they're American they're crap, or do American posters know different ? Can't say I'm arsed either way.

This is really their first foray into football. They're pretty good with American football and golf, however, the network that is showing the CL is CBS sports network. Not the one that does golf and football that gets a lot of money put into it.

The NCAA basketball on CBS is generally good too.

However anything on CBSSN is generally garbage. I'm not really excited about it. At least the previous deal with Bleacher report/turner had games on a channel included with every basic cable package. I'm still not sure I get CBSSN.

A lot disparaged Bleacher and turner but at least you could buy games not on TV for like 5 or 6 bucks. I enjoyed that. I'm still not sure what CBS offers in that regard.

I don't have high hopes for CBS, wish NBCSN or ESPN/ABC would have bid more for the rights. I have a feeling these games will end up with crap coverage and won't be easily accessible besides the finals.

He's got the main job with Amazon anyway, hasn't he?

CBS are excellent on NFL (imo, of course), but the only dodgy American one i've seen so far is Bleacher Report (I assume thats what B/R is)

I'm really not sure what the hate is towards towards B/R. They don't have the best commentators, but like I said, the games are largely accessible with them. They do a good job with the NBA you can buy individual games and team passes. Rather than having to shell out a full 200 or 300 for a package like the NFL requires.

Well, he was unemployed for a long time wasn't he? One minute he's sulking and wetting himself while stamping his feet, and the next he's Captain Smug with his chortling post about his shiny new job.

He's a complete and utter toploaded knobmonkey of the first order, and I hope both of his arms fall off
