I would rather no females call the games, but if they have to, I would much rather it be a female who sounded like a female.

May I inquire as to why it makes you feel weird?
Football is man-time for me. No homo. The last thing I want is to have to listen to a woman talking the whole game. Call it sexist if you want, but I have to listen to my wife enough to expect a break from women talking during football.

According to the link from mckibaj, only on rare occasions is the radio broadcast behind the television broadcast. There is a radio that is sold that you can delay the radio broadcast between 1-8 seconds to try to time them up. I might consider it for the future, but will probably give Beth a chance this weekend.

Do you care about women doing the occasional sideline report?

I found this, but it's $200, and it probably won't get there before Saturday.

I'm going to try to open an online radio feed through VLC. I might be able to use it's video/audio synchronization feature to delay the audio.

Well shite.. this looks like a job for the NTY.
Seriously though if I was AU I wouldn't let those 2 in the press box, and would tell ESPN to go frick themselves.

Not if they're hot and seem to know what they're talking about.

I might need to make a career move then.

I <3 you Audodger
I've been looking for this device for ages. I can't tell you how bummed I've been to listen to Hawthorne announce a TD, pick, etc... only to see it 5 seconds after

Good idea. I'll bump this thread when I find out.

Seriously, though, it's about what I expected. Until we get good owners, things will continue downhill. At least the Giants are likely to make the playoffs.
We did have a 5 game winining streak that just got broken last night.

You would be awesome at it because you wouldn't take no shite.

WoW! I feel sorry for Auburn fans. I can't stand to hear her call a game. She's almost as bad as that old broad that calls Yankees games.
I'm sure we'll have her for a game - I think we had her for Duke last year.

I wouldn't want Al Michaels, John Madden or Eli Gold calling womens figure skating or female gymnastics in the Olympics and I don't want a female, butch or not, calling football.
