Hi - I'm commentating a sports game live on television in a couple of weeks time.
Would love to hear your suggestions on things to say and also who your favourite commentators are and why?

just over exaggerate anything that happens
like any good play just talk about how it's "magical" etc.
boom goes the dynamite

I'm intensely curious to find out who people think are good commentators too. There are still some good guys on the radio but tv commentary is a barren wasteland.

>over exaggerate anything
inb4 OP turns into Gus Johnson
Thanks to you both, bumping again

Go watch Ray Hudson. Take notes on what he says. Then don't say it, it's annoying as fuck

>he doesn't like ray hudson
lol

>he likes hyperbole out the ass
It gets old after 3 games max, then it's just annoying. Plus he's a rude cunt to any other commentator he works with
talk with as little emotion as you possibly can and make sure you let it known that you'll work cheaper than Joe Buck, then you'll get hired by NFL on FOX for sure

He's good in small doses. He managed to make a late season meaningless football game exciting, so that's something.

Listen to Vin Scully. He's the GOAT of all sports commentary. Works alone cause he's that great.
Lots of personal anecdotes and jokes
take notes from joe buck
Thanks again, except for the Joe Buck trolls. Lol bumping again for more advice

This. Talk about your days when you played that sport.
Also what sport
OP here. It's rugby
sweet sassy molassy
Ian Eagle is the best current commentator in America.

Look at that seamless transition from goofy antics to picking up the call mid play without missing a beat.

What sport?
Pat Summerall's spare delivery - "Montana .... Rice .... Touchdown" is preferable, but that shit won't play if you're calling a baseball game. Summerall, Scully, a little Cosell if you happen to be literate, that will take you a long way. Or, have several drinks and then say what comes to you.

I'm a sucker for some good facts desu op
