We stream and have access to everything. We started watching opposing teams' broadcasts and without exception they're all better than our local Fox Sports North.

The best thing about the other broadcasts is they're not talking the whole time. There are moments of silence. They don't talk unless they have something to add.

Looking at you Dick Bremer.

Yes, I do as often as I can because you get an objective viewpoint of what is going on.
I don't ever see Bremer and whoever, because I live far away from FSN North.
I live close to Chicago and that's when I tune in.

I know they HAVE to homer of their teams but FSN is dreadful when it comes to homer-dom.

I even think that Frank Mazzaco (sp?) was canned from Gopher hockey games for being too critical.

LaPanta and Greenlay are the absolute worst.

*Goalie lets in shot from redline*

Greenlay: Well, as a former goalie I know how tricky those shots can be. Can't really blame him there. It just took a bad bounce. I bet he does wish he can get it back.

I listen to the opposing teams call on XM. Most of them don't have a fucking clue. I do love the lead in on Rocco on Tuesdays when they talk with the manager on MLB XM. I wanna rock!(Twisted Sister)! :thumbsup:

There's plenty of times of silence during Twins broadcasts. Regardless, what a weird thing to bitch about.

Furthermore, the pauses of silence are left for the color guy, not the play by play guy (Dick).

Watch the Rangers broadcast of today's game. You'll notice a huge difference.

One thing though: Our Marney and Audra are much better than their opposing broadcasts' counterparts.

Unfortunately, I can't watch this series because Louisiana is in Texas' territory (I can't get Astros games, either)...
