Sports commentator

Let me just give you an example.

Uh, they have the Wisconsin Sportscaster Award, right? Tim Van Vooren has four.

Ask me how many I have.

Ask me.

Make a list.

Put a list.

Look up the list of the people that have been Sportscaster of the Year, where I would win.

If I'm being honest, this is one of the lamest debates I've ever heard.

High school football this week.

Uh, we have the Sportscaster Game of the Week.

This is the final one.

Little shout-out to my buddy Brian, uh, Dad, for, uh, doing this on, uh, Friday nights.

The Commentators View on the Football Daily.

Listen on BBC Sounds.

[upbeat music]

Hello, and welcome to the Football Daily podcast.

I'm Ian Dennis, and this is the Commentators View, where we five live commentators talk about the football, our adventures, and the language of football commentary.

Myself and John Murray are just back off international duty and heading straight back into Premier League action.

Although Alistair Bruce Ball is absent, so once again, we have Conor McNamara stepping in.

Um, and, uh, it also makes me realize how much I've missed of modern pop culture sometimes [laughs] because I'm like, "Who is this? What are they?" And they're like, "Oh, I recognize them," or, like, [laughs] "I feel like I should have known th- [laughs] this guy." Uh, something like that.

So, uh, Rich Eisen from Sportscaster, uh, you know, we can't, we can't not love him.

Uh, for us, uh, w- that grew up in the, in the '90s.

Um, so yeah, it's a, it's a really cool, cool set.

in the sporting world.

Darren Parkin will join us a little later on in the show, Sports Broadcaster.

We'll chat about the latest sporting news and headlines with Darren.

But right now, we'll head to our first guest straight off the bat here on the Wednesday Perspective this afternoon because it's NBL time.

And Tassie also the other match tomorrow.

A bit happening in the AFL trade period as well.

We might go a bit more in-depth with Darren Park, a sports broadcaster who will join us in a few minutes' time.

Some breaking news just through that chat with Brad Fremantle.

... at their age.

It's amazing how they're kind of cultivating under the Sports Wrap, or the, uh, excuse me, the, the, uh, Sportscaster umbrella.

It's fantastic.

Yeah.

I, I honestly think the same thing, and I wasn't trying to be cheeky when I said it, but somebody asked me about, you know, my involvement with Sportscaster, and I thought, "If you would've talked to me," and I didn't see your earliest work, Renwick, but I mean, like, when you ...

I looked at some of my stuff and it's like, I probably would've been encouraged, like, to keep playing trombone.

Right.

And then you've got Gridiron Wrap, you and Paul Kean, or, or, excuse me, uh, Bill Keenist.

And the consequences could extend beyond Man City, with other clubs potentially seeking compensation.

So what could all of this mean for City and the rest of the Premier League? Well, let's ask Des Cockhill, sports commentator at Sports Centred Media Services.

Des, thank you for joining us again this morning on The Morning Report.

Has anything like this happened before in English football and is there any real precedent for a case of this scale?

Good morning, everyone.

Pleasure is all ours.

We've been speaking there with Des Cockhill, sports commentator at Sports Centre Media Services.
