Re: Iconic CBC Sportscaster Bob Cole Dies at 90

DE-TROY-UT! :)

He was one of the hockey broadcasting greats. I appreciate hockey play-by-play men who don't scream every time a goal is scored.

Some aspects of his on-air demeanor remind me of another legendary sports broadcaster - Keith Jackson.

Apologies for the load time slowness earlier today

Those of you trying to load pages from the Buzzboard late this morning or this afternoon (April 25) may have noticed lethargic server response. This was caused by the hosting company's server. A reboot of the server appears to have resolved the issue. Thanks for your continued patronage of the Buzzb...

Re: Detroit Tigers 2024

The fact the Tigers are mediocre at home and great on the road suggests to me the dimensions of Comerica Park remain an issue.

Interestingly, the Red Sox have a similar situation in terms of win percentage season to date.

Re: Shep in AB out

Bellino's morning show the couple times I tried listening a couple years ago bored me to tears. I don't care to hear long, boring interviews with past or present division II or division III coaches. I found the show unlistenable. I want to hear talk about Detroit's pro teams, Big Ten football and ba...

Re: Channel 7 (WXYZ) rebranding next Monday?

Ah, did not realize they had to pay licensing fees for that brand name.

If that is indeed the case, I agree completely that's the reason it was tossed aside.

I agree with you - we should all vote for Biden if it must be one of those three. Good post!
RFK will simply splinter the conspiracy voter, and we all know who owns the conspiracy vote.
100% right.

There was nothing wrong with "Action News."

"7 News" does sound cleaner than "7 News Detroit "

Re: Minneapolis

One can bypass Chicago itself (though not northwest Indiana and the south suburbs which can also have bad traffic) by taking I-80 to I-39 and 39 up to 90, which then runs back into 94 in Wisconsin. Longer route but 39 is a much more relaxing drive than the Tri-State or the Dan Ryan/Kennedy/Edens co...

Re: WDIV new set

And it's positioned sideways to boot! Yeah, no thanks.

The setup 62 uses, after some tweaks that took time to implement, works well. (Initially, I was not a fan.)

These massive videos walls - when used to present the news or weather - do not look good at all and is a trend that needs to die.

Re: WDIV new set

Saw some weathercasts on 4 this morning. The graphics on that diagonally positioned monitor look truly AWFUL! There is a ton of light glare, and the color contrast and sharpness of the weather maps is totally piss poor. Do directors / producers / whomever not think this shit through before going to ...

Re: Greetings From Dayton OH.

Dayton, OH is stuck in the late 1980s, so that all makes sense. :)
