... 50-50 balls, were outrebounded 50-39 and appeared a step slow on defense. That equation will lead to a big loss. Oklahoma didn’t have that stabilizing piece on the court against the Gators. Jordan Woodard, who said he wasn’t feeling well during pregame warmups, only played 14 minutes after complaining of being dizzy. He was scoreless for the first time since the Sooners’ loss at Kansas State last season. He also didn’t have any rebounds or assists. With Darrion Strong-Moore still healing from a dislocated shoulder, the point guard position depth is to be watched. Jordan Shepherd played 26 minutes, but was just 1-of-8 shooting. 3) Big Monday. The Sooners have won the last seven games against Oklahoma State in the Bedlam series, but both teams are carrying a different type of momentum entering Monday’s 8 p.m. contest at Lloyd Noble Center. The teams are tied with ...

Espn Denies Musburger's Claim There Was No Mixon Blowback

... were in fact addressed with Musburger. According to that spokesperson, the Mixon comments were specifically discussed in a post-Sugar Bowl meeting with ESPN president John Skipper and senior vice-president (event and studio production) Stephanie Druley. Here are the two accounts of that meeting, from Deitsch’s piece. “We had already started the process of me leaving,” Musburger said. “The morning after the Sugar Bowl I had breakfast with [ESPN president] John Skipper and [senior vice president of event & studio production] Stephanie Druley, and they wanted to work out a plan to keep me at ESPN. There was not even a discussion about what had been said specifically about Mixon. In fact, the only person who mentioned it to me was a telephone call two days later from [Disney chairman] Bob Iger, who is an old friend, and he said, ‘This too shall pass.’ That was the only comment. There was no blowback. There is absolutely no connection. “I did not want them to be in the middle [of gambling issues]. I am sure they have had some phone calls about [gambling] comments that I have made on the air over the years. It certainly never came back to me, but ...

Espn's Brent Musburger Is Retiring From Sportscasting At 77

... “What a wonderful journey I have traveled with CBS and the Disney company,” Musburger said in a statement. “A love of sports allows me to live a life of endless pleasure. And make no mistake, I will miss the arenas and stadiums dearly. Most of all, I will miss the folks I have met along the trail. “But the next rodeo for me is in Las Vegas. Stop by and we’ll share a cold one and some good stories. I may even buy!”. Both Musburger and ESPN say his  comments about Oklahoma football player Joe Mixon  that were criticized as insensitive during the  Sugar Bowl  earlier this month had nothing to do with his exit. Musburger said he hoped Mixon, who had been suspended for a year after punching a woman and breaking her jaw, would make the most of his second chance and did not initially talk about his victim. “Brent ...

... made the pregame show an event. NBC tried to compete with “The NFL Today,” though it was Mr. Pibb to CBS’ Dr. Pepper. ESPN started a pregame show and now it’s an all-morning event. Fox has tried to recreate “The NFL Today” formula for years with outlandish personalities. CBS has done the same with its reboot of “The NFL Today.” Many of those shows are done well, but there is only one original “The NFL Today.”. In the 1970 s and 1980 s, when the NFL’s popularity was skyrocketing, CBS’ pregame show was almost as big of a deal as the games that followed. In the days before the Internet and ESPN’s “NFL Prime Time,” Musburger also emceed our first look at the highlights from around the league in the halftime and postgame studio show.

Brent Musburger, Chris Berman Changed Our Tv Picture

... Chris Berman Changed Our TV Picture. Brent Musburger (left) and Chris Berman at ESPN. A generation of sports broadcasting trailblazers is vanishing before our very eyes. Vin Scully, Dick Enberg and Verne Lundquist retired late last year. Now Brent Musburger and Chris Berman are leaving the airwaves. Musburger, 75, retires after calling the Kentucky-Georgia game at 9 p.m. Tuesday on ESPN. He pioneered the modern TV pregame studio show doing "The NFL on CBS" in the late 1970 s with Phyllis George, Irv Cross and Jimmy "The Greek" Snyder. When they'd go to a live shot from a NFL stadium, Musburger would tell viewers: "You're lookin' live….". He's done just about every major sporting event on TV – and co-anchored local news (with Connie Chung!) on KNXT-TV (now KCBS-TV) in Los Angeles in the 1970 s.  He was CBS' main play-by-play voice for 15 years for the NCAA Final Four, US Open, NBA, ...

Brent Musburger Made Friends, Had Fun At Iowa, Isu

... right. Thanks for the memories, Brent! #legend __link__/e TDMU 0 Gj 81. — Cyclone Basketball (@Cyclone MBB) January 25, 2017. ESPN’s Jay Bilas tweeted this Wednesday : “Favorite Musburger memory: sitting in Ames, IA bar for NFL game (drinking milk) listening to Brent go back and forth with every bar patron.”. As one of the minority of high-profile sports announcers who often said what he thought without filtering himself, Musburger wasn’t always in everyone’s good graces. During ESPN’s Sugar Bowl telecast earlier this month, he said he hoped Oklahoma running back Joe Mixon, who had been suspended for a year because of a 2014 incident in which he punched a woman and broke her jaw, would make the most of his second chance and have a successful NFL career. He didn’t initially talk about Mixon’s victim. His comments struck a lot of people as highly insensitive toward the victim. It wasn’t a great moment. So maybe it was time ...

Looking Live' Once More As Era Ends With Brent Musburger

... the 1980 s. Musburger will call his last game for ESPN on Jan. 31, a college basketball contest pitting Kentucky against Georgia. (AP Photo/File). In less than three days, we'll be looking live for the last time as Brent Musburger leaves television for a new life among the betting crowd in Las Vegas he always managed to wink at from the broadcast booth. An interesting decision, since Musburger said just two months ago he was having far too much fun to retire. But the 77-year-old former Billings and Big Timber resident insists he made up his own mind, and so do his bosses at ESPN. Pair it with Chris Berman going back, back, back into semi-retirement, and television will largely be without two sports broadcasting icons that millions of Americans have grown up listening to. For those who like their sports dished up in a no-nonsense style, that may not be such a bad thing, but there was something a lot of people found endearing ...
