Post by: mumzie on December 09, 2005, 03:41:17 AM
Tessatore in the Booth
Joe Tessatore will fill in for Dave Ryan this Sunday’s during the live ESPN televised finals of the 2005 Keystone State Championship. Ryan, who will miss this week due to another commitment, will return to his play-by-play duties next week.

Check out the versatility in Dave's Mic Work!

"Boy WAS HE EVER LIGHT on that shot" (On every shot that goes light)
"Boy WAS HE EVER HIGH on that shot" (On every shot that goes high)
"Boy DOES HE EVER bring it on the spate shot" (On Eugene McCune)
"Boy DOES HE EVER bring the intensity to a match" (on Jason Couch)

Why hasn't he won an ESPY?!!!!!!!

No, Ramtart - you're wrong. He'll quite often say "light" when the hit was through the nose, and vice versa...

Jim Rome or Dave Ryan...which one would be worse as a bowling commentator?  One that knows nothing about bowling and admits it or one that knows nothing about bowling and describes it?

Is "none of the above" an appropriate choice?

Learning the basics of bowling terminology is NOT rocket science. Seems that there could be an online course of the most basic stuff - if the "common tater" can't pass the test at the end, they don't get the check.

How many advertisers and tour sponsors would there be if they knew that half of us watch with no sound?

I vote for Dennis Miller to the booth like they did for Monday Night Football J/K!!!  I remember when a team was down like 28-0 in the fourth quarter and the QB had just completed a pass of more than 10 yards and finally got a first down.  Dennis' comment was, "I see they have abandoned the prevent offense."  Outside of the movie "40 Year Old Virgin", I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard.

Hey TWOHAND, I believe that game was our lowly Detroit Lions getting smashed by the Rams 35-0!  I watched that debacle on tv, and Miller was pretty funny.  I tried to laugh between sobs...

That was also the game where people were chanting "We want Batch!" (backup QB) and cheered wildly as he was brought in and led the team downfield.  After Dre Bly picked off a pass for a TD though, the crowd began chanting "Let's Go Red Wings" which really got the announce team laughing lol

Im glad we get no Dave Ryan, but I hope Norm Duke stops in since he isn't competing.  I love listening to him talk bowling.  Randy Pedersen, I think the guy is a total jerk, but I have to admit I like his color commentary.  He dumbs it down enough to understand for novices, but keeps it entertaining and intelligent enough to enjoy.

Does he *really* have a prior engagement????

According to the PBA board he is doing a Ping Pong tournament. Mabey that's what happened last year..I don't know if this is true or a joke. I do know there is a huge Ping Pong tournament I think in China that is equiviant to the US Open of bowling.

Though probably prevented by some contract with ESPN, It's a shame the PBA doesn't work out some deal where the person who finishes #5 for the week gets some bonus bucks for working the telecast opposite Petersen.  It would be interesting to hear the comments, stories, and general take of the other guys out there on tour.

He may be gone next week too. Japan is having a national slap jack tournament, and Argentina has a rock-scissors-paper tourney too. LOL! Ping Pong! I hope that is a sick joke!

i saw dave ryan on espn today as a sideline reporter for college football. tomorrows telecast without dave ryan and pete weber sounds pretty good to me.

Well if you ask me, Dave Ryan is not that bad, and the Joe guy who takes his place when hes gone, isnt a great replacement. For all those who watch the show with the mute button on...well you dont have to when the Joe guy is commentating, cause he simply does not say much, making it like the mute is on.  

P.S. Dave Ryan was lucky to miss this weeks yawnecast...oops I mean telecast.

Joe Tessatore is an excellent sports reporter--- he used to do local coverage here in CT for our local CBS affiliate, WFSB.

That said, I don't know if he's really that knowledgeable about bowling.  As much as people rag on Ryan, he at least knows SOMETHING about bowling and since ESPN is not going to hire a Schenkel (sp?) type we might as well make due with what we have.

Personally I thought Tessitore was better than anyone they've had on in the past few years.  The man showed he has some knowlege of bowling.  Something Ryan has never shown.  Now if we can get him (ryan) to stay away and teach "Maple Moxie, Crocodile Randee" to come up with some new lines the show might just get to be a professional presentation.
