Andy Katz dirtbag loser
Hey Andy, are you going to stalk us at SU games and follow us around the country and remind everyone of the Bernie Fine and lawsuit crap for every game this season ? Was there any new "news"? Oh, no there wasn't ?? Sure, then just come by to take your shot whenever we're within driving drive of Bristol, CT. Did you stop out at the bowl game to join the Westboro Baptist Church people to harange Penn State fans ?? Jesus Christ give it a rest. I'd like to just watch a basketball game. Do you understand that? I look to ESPN for entertainment, not Fox News crap. I know you have your big journalism career to try to make here. Good luck with that, you jock sniffer.​

I dont think he gets to pick his games. Close to Bristol so he gets the assignments.

 

[PauliePeppas]

Did he mention Bernie tonight

 

[IthacaMatt]

"the scandal". I'm so sick of the ing innuendo.

 

[orangenauburn]

he has added nothing to the telecast

Andy katz showed what kind of man he was with that cheap shot question to Jb questioning his motives. I'm glad juli lit him up.

Funny. I tune into Fox to avoid the ESPN crap.

Katz's treatment of the Fine situation aside, I found it disappointing that an ESPN-produced telecast with three on-air people couldn't muster an explanation of a.) Keita's absence or b.) C.J.'s extended stint at center.

That was the worst announcing crew of the year. Little analysis, virtually no game information at all. What's the point of having a sideline reporter if these things go unmentioned?

One of them announces for the Red Sox. Enough said. Though I should be careful because the Yankees do have Suzyn Waldman and John Sterling.

Why is Andy Katz sideline reporting in Providence anyway? I guess because we were there, but still. I thought he was better than that.

He's a sideline reporter at a lot of games.

I guess Erin Andrews gets the good games?

Because he has done some BE games that are close to Bristol. He has done some Uconn games as well. He doesnt have a personal vendetta against Syracuse.

Wouldn't you give Erin the good games?

 

[rrlbees]

I have no problem with Katz, I think he is pretty good. If you guys want to get pissed at someone go look at the Yahoo college basketball front page. They still have "Will Jim Boeheim survive at Syracuse?" there.

Oh, please. ESPN is trying to milk the Fine situation way worse than anything they are doing to cover Penn State. They keep providing "updates" when they themselves are part of the story and keep perpetuating it. I half expect an ESPN freaking min-series about it in the next few weeks, before the season's over. It's going to be in our Goddamn "One Shining Moment" if they keep this crap up.

 

[dasher]

I agree matt. No one has been charged with anything. Everyone already knows the story. If you have nothing new, . And believe it when I tell you that the head coach is very unhappy with katz. He will still talk to him, because he has to, but the feelings of our coaches about katz is now very different.

why you gotta drag fox through the mud like that?

 

[Rossco123]

It's not dragging it's explaining!

 

[armory]

Insult spellchecker should be an app or an addon

 

[Madbiker]

I didn't see him say anything about Fine tonight...did I miss something?
Thought the announcing team was lame. The whole game was from the PC perspective. They were actually "coaching" PC about what to do to beat the zone. Many announcers do that on ESPN also. It's really annoying. Aren't they supposed to be impartial?

what you wanna do bro?.. i'm 6'6'' 250

 

[Cuseman78]

What exactly was the point of the original post? For those of us that watch college basketball (non-SU), Katz does many sideline gigs in the New England area. This isn't some grand conspiracy. Oh, and he didn't mention Bernie Fine once that I recall. Classy email to him though. :bang:
