I actually quite enjoyed Mark Jones and RG3 having to stay up to midnight to call an OSU/Stanford game, but that's more because they were completely out of their element and have nothing in common with the 2 programs in any way shape or form.
Jones loves to race-bait and work up the social-justice angle any time he can.
RG3 had a comment last night about one of the Stanford students that he was "Big Red-Riding Hood" and the last few years I've started to notice how the cameras/announcers can sometimes pick on a fan and it just makes me cringe. Its not adding anything positive to the broadcast and only serves to humor themselves.
Conversely the P12 is so bad and that Ted guy from our game literally went from a Bday congratulations for a Producers daughter into a Gun-violence story. Maybe let a few plays happen and give that story a bit of breath first.
Please give me a radio style broadcast on the tv as the focus is just on the action with the right amount of color added.

If I was running the commentary staffing for games @ ESPN, they'd be out of their position in a minute, for a plethora of reasons (but mostly just bad commentary). But it is 2022 so they are necessary for agenda-pushing.
I will admit that I haven't watched any full games, but I think that is more of a sign of their absolute catastrophe of commentating... the last thing that a viewer should be focused on is the commentators, but I am in shock of their poor quality in the few instances I've watched their games.... cringe-worthy, bad timing, overly excited in wrong situations, not knowing player names, and of course the classic race-baiting

Wasn’t the Christobal race issue Rod Gilmore? Pretty sure he was the analyst in game, unless Jones also commented on social media?

Mark Jones is the best announcer ESPN has. He's incredibly talented, knows multiple sports, vocab is through the roof, and he meshes well with just about anyone ESPN teams him up with. I love listening to he and Doris Burke on NBA calls and I'm warming up to RG3 for football calls. I thought they did a tremendous job last night calling the game and bringing the energy for an 8pm kickoff on the Farm between two average schools.

lol, they stink.
they somehow integrate slang language that teenage kids use into their broadcast... maybe they think they are being cool and connecting? makes me wince every time they do it, and from what I've heard, they do it a lot.
they get overexcited for plays that are not that big of a deal. I've seen this a few times. pretty annoying and distracting when u are a viewer and have to pay attention to bad broadcasting.
there a few other things that I can't remember, but overall they are annoying/distracting. I suppose a younger audience might like them, but I'm doubtful?
Man, tough crowd. I like RG3; he’s goofy but pulls it off in a way that makes the broadcast entertaining. The biggest problem for a lot of these broadcasts is there’s only so many quality PxP and color guys at these companies, and there just isn’t enough to go around on CFB Saturdays. It’s really difficult to talk for 3-4 hours straight and not sound really dumb at some point.

Uhm- it wasn’t Jones who race baited. It was Rod Gilmore. Dave Pasch and Gilmore did that game and it was against Az in Autzen

Yes for the 2nd time I stand corrected on that.
A couple of days after Rod's absurd comments, he went on sports talk radio and said he thought Oregon athletics needed to repirmand Mario.
There are certainly a lot of things about Mario that we have clearly discussed here in great detail, but being racist is not something I ever felt was an issue with him.

I loathe what the word "racist" has become: a byword to castigate anyone you disagree with.
If anything - and I don't believe he actually is one - the racist in these situations are actually the Gilmore's and Stephen A's of the world who profit off of creating race controversies.
