Re: Talk about MLB
This is how indignant (and likely guilty) baseball players are currently acting with the new rules checking for foreign substances.

Re: Talk about MLB
While everyone is piling on England let's not forget our home grown biases...
There have been a lot of baseball players who don't speak English and I could be wrong because I don't follow his antics much but has he ever said this about anyone else?

I obviously don't have the "pleasure" of listening to Smith very often. But what surprises me the most is this: he is not good. He is really not good, at all, discussing or talking about sports. All he does is pick some inflammatory topic, proceed to stick his shoe in his mouth, and start a non-discussion about something that is not related to whatever sport he is "talking" about.

Re: Talk about MLB
And I'd argue he's one of the best especially when it comes to covering the NBA. And what's really annoying about that is, you can't even see that because this excellent sports writer turned TV commentator used to not add nearly so much flair to his TV appearances, and those shows got cancelled even though he was great then. This format, on the other hand, has been a ratings blockbuster so you get this version of him most of the time.ponchi101 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 12, 2021 7:09 pm I obviously don't have the "pleasure" of listening to Smith very often.

I just saw that he made fun of the names of Nigerian players. Doesn't he know his own history? Many of those names would've been our names today if not for a certain historical occurrence that brought most of us to this country?

Re: Talk about MLB
MLB in their infinite wisdom with their overpacked year-long game schedule said to themselves, you know what, let's do a big Red Sox vs. Yankees game on Thursday and have no other games played on that day at all coming out of the All Star Break. It'll be a big draw.
