Your 2009 Sports Emmy Award Nominees
Thursday, April 02, 2009
Every year I post these, and every year it seems like those in the business have no idea what they're doing. The same terrible personalities are nominated (Berman, Buck, McCarver), and the same shows win every year. The only difference this year, is that the Academy actually threw a couple of curveballs at us. They've added some new people to the list, and while some are spot on like Tom Jackson, there are those that just boggle the mind....like John Kruk.
Anyway, here's the list, feel free to complain or choose your winners in the comments. The event is April 27th, and I'll be sure to share the winners with you when they are released.

PTI really needs to be Inside the NBA one of these years.
Of course, it should have happened when PTI was still doing skits and they talked about more than just the NBA/NFL/MLB/Tiger.

Outstanding PBP: Doc Emrick should, but I bet Nantz wins

Outstanding Live Analyst: Collinsworth in a squeaker over Jaws and Collins
A.B.E.- Anyone but ESPN..
But seriously folks... baseball is my favorite sport, but BBTN is an abomination.

Ten bucks says a football show wins Outstanding Studio Show (WEEKLY).
NHL Network's "On the Fly" is pretty good for highlights. Think "Sportscenter" before the egos and endless self-promotion took over. It might not be eligible since it is a Canadian production.
Daily Studio Show: NFL Live if on the Fly not eligible.
The X-Games? Really? Who is running this award show, Darkmane???
If Ernie Johnson doesn't win best host, fuck the world.
