I am not saying that specific call was right. I don't think Hall embellished there.
But, you can be the victim of a penalty and embellish the impact to try to ensure you get the call. It even happens in beer league (not that I've ever been guilty, of course!).
I believe you are correct in the case of Tripp, Mike, and Hanna. Shane is definitely an employee of the team, with other responsibilities beyond the TV broadcasts.
Not necessarily…most of the local TV talents on regional sports networks are employees or contractors paid by the networks, not by the teams. With that said, given the scramble that is going to happen for distributing the games if and when Main Street goes dark, I would be shocked if they’re not...
I watched the Mammoth beat Florida on Tuesday night and they looked good. Let's take advantage of the fact that we should be well-rested and they're on their third road game in four nights.
As friend of mine said in a text to me...
"Meteorology exposes people that struggle with science/probability more than anything else everyone has access to. The amount of slander they [meteorologists] get from idiots like LOL YOU WERE WRONG is laughable."
Yeah, I've seen him mentioned in what at this point are probably highly speculative packages for Robert Thomas, who would be an ideal 2C in the Canes' system.
