Is it just me, or have the announcers talking gotten almost to be non stop during these matches??? It's like they talk non stop from start to finish. I'm getting pretty tired of it. Ugh.......

get tennis since we cut the cord but it does not play in real time, that I have not figured out. I left home as Osaka was down in the second set and came back an hour and a half later and she is still playing that 2nd set! LOL, still I can get it, YAY!

I am watching on ESPN and was totally frustrated when some hot shot baseball player came to talk and the talk all went to males and male sports and baseball in particular. It was almost like the scores in the game they were watching were kinda mumbled out in the middle of the boy talk.

I agree, it seems like it is constant. Now that I am not on DirecTV I cannot go find it anywhere and have no choice of match but I seem to remember a place where nobody said anything but the scores.
