Fox Sports Are Back

Steve Carfino and Andrew Gaze will be in your living room twice a week this season.

NBL fans should be dancing in the streets thanks to Fox Sports.

I'm hearing that the NBL will be announcing that Fox Sports will be back on board to the tune of two games per week. (A very big improvement on last year's coverage package.)

Round 2's Wednesday night clash (30th September) between this season's heavy weights, Melbourne Tigers and the New Zealand Breakers, will kick start the 2009/10 season's viewing on the idiot box.

Along with Big Wednesday on most Saturday night's you will be able to sit in the comfort of your lounge chair and catch a live NBL game.

Perth Wildcat fans will be happy to know that Fox will be packing up their cameras and heading west at least five times during the regular season. A much better deal for the wild west fan this time around.

If this is the final deal (the two parties have been at the negotiating table for some time now) that has been done between the NBL and Fox Sports, fans should start to be getting excited for the upcoming season.

Now I will start to get a little greedy and hope that an announcement of a major sponsor is not too far behind either.

Daryl Morey commenting on David Andersen today: http://sportsradiointerviews.com/2009/07/21/daryl-morey-on-david-andersen-chase-budinger-and-joey-dorsey/

“We feel like he’s at a good age actually. People are focusing I think on how old he is, but he’s 29, we’re gonna sign him to probably a 3-year deal with some options for the Rockets at the end of it. We feel like he’s just a good player, he’s a good player at a good price; we’re gonna have to win with $40 million sitting on the sidelines for much of the year this year. So, we’re having to be value players and we think David can give us a lot of quality minutes this year, and then Yao Ming comes back next year, we think of him as a very good backup at the five and at the four. And, I think he’s gonna be another guy the fans love - he plays hard, he’s a winner, he’s won seven straight championships with his seven straight teams in Europe. We scouted the globe, we didn’t like our options at a center among the US free agents, so that’s why we were pretty aggressive with Atlanta to get his rights.”

Q: David Andersen is POO.

Cheers.

Clint Dogg, Australia

JCF: I was at first taken aback after reading this email. I mean, who would expect something so seemingly harsh from someone who goes by a genteel name like “Clint Dogg?” But that’s when it hit me: I realized that “POO” is obviously Down Under speak for “Pretty Outstanding Offensively.” Oh, those crazy Aussies and their wacky lingo..."

Steve Carfino.. again? Why do we have to keep putting up with him? Can't Fox Sports source a real commentator? I swear he's some of the reason many don't watch basketball on TV.
