Title: Thanks Dave Ryan
Post by: earmite26 on February 04, 2007, 05:24:40 AM
Thanks for the Finnish language lesson that you give us EVERY TIME MIKA BOWLS.  Please talk about something else other than the same thing every time a bowler bowls.  Just my .02

At least he didn't tell us when the last 7-10 conversion was.

I don't agree with the Mika-bashing but Dave Ryan is a big fat dork...haha. I think he translated "60 feet to success" like 10 times...

I don't know what would be worse: Brian Voss or Dave Ryan.

There have been complaints for 3 years or more, but he is still there.  I guess somebody likes him!

I've seen him calling other stuff on ESPN - can't recall off the top of my head, but my guess is somebody must feel his is the "Jim Nantz" of ESPN.

Question - if the PBA is really paying ESPN to broadcast the show, why not produce the show in a "generic" format and try to shop it around to other TV outlets?  

Does anybody know if ESPN is in charge of securing advertising, or does the PBA sell it's own advertising (similar to what the WWE does for it's wrestling shows)?

Dave Ryan is seriously making me ill with the Finnish language courses and the other dumb antics.
However, I have NEVER thought the chemistry between him and Randy Pederson was ever good. If you look back on the senior tour in 2000 which I belive is when Ryan started with Holman he actully sounded good. When you look at Pederson when he was with Kelly and Thulin in the early 00's he was pretty good.

Dave Ryan and Randy Pederson together has been a disaster! I guarantee if you took out Pederson and just had Duke and Ryan it would be much better. I guarantee if you had Todd Blackledge (ESPN announcer for college) and Randy Pederson they would be good. Ryan Shafer and Norm Duke would be bad. Chemistry matters!
