@jeffisrael25 You’re right, but that all went out the window when Vegas hosted the ASG. A league run event was nothing BUT gambling references - especially the Skills Competition. The League opened the can of worms. The Knights might as well play into it.
@MikeyFitzPGH@JoshYohe_PGH We all grew up with Mikey doing both sides because the Pens did simulcasts for years.
They didn’t split up TV & radio until the mid to late 90s. Teams cheaping out to go back to that model is just putrid.
@JoshYohe_PGH I got to know Mark back when the Pittsburgh Forge were still a thing (and my employer). I had only know “Radio Double-M” to that point. When I found realized how much of it was being a true radio personality, I saw him in a whole new way, and with a lot more respect.
@SkylarSkye3 College football is probably the closest analogy to British footy. Small towns with teams that play in the highest level, with national following.
@FreddyLA7 Okay. Now you’re just showing off. I finally got my 26th state this year. And I’m in my 40s. 😂
Enjoy the match and have safe travels home, Good Sir.
@sportswithben1 The home schedule is absolutely awful this year. I can’t remember if it is “officially official” yet, or still just the presumed game by Nittany Nation. I may’ve just accepted it as fact by this point.

@VoiceOfGman You can play 82 regular season games and not get your name on it.
I don’t get why this whole thing is such a big deal to people. It is yelling at clouds for the sake of it.
