..they would say oh another not great announcer then move on with their life... But ya know since it's a female calling football, baseball, and other male sports it is somehow a sin....

but no one *****es about an announcer because he's a man
and no one makes a point of calling out gender when it's a man

I should've clarified *****ing to the same extent or about man/woman better.

Besides I'm not a ACCN or Packer fan but Durham is good but whether they were born a man or women doesn't determine their job success.....
but ultimately I get the point you're trying to make but IMO what you're saying doesn't matter since that is a TV show not a sports broadcast with announcers but the principals stay the same.. There has been plenty of people b!tching about women announcers across TSL on various boards lately on the pure idea that the person is a woman therefore she cannot be good at her job.. which was my point in it.
I really think, if one sucks at their job they suck at it no matter who you are or if you are a man or woman. :)

(which is no criticism of Evan, he's great...I just don't care that much who's calling the game...but the angst over it on the boards is entertaining)

What is all this BS about? This is a baseball board that should be jumping
With excitement … I think this is why we have rules against crap being circulated

Nothing against women but them calling baseball gets just doesn't compute with an excuse of being old...
and that's the main post I'm referencing but there's a soft.... soul that get's offended easily even when having a simple discussion there.... which is why I didn't even bother calling out specifically so the person didn't get butthurt....again....

Here is how I sync...my Vizio TV is connected to a Vizio sound bar...
...the sound bar has a Bluetooth feature which allows me to stream audio to it from my phone. I still have the ESPN video on the TV, just not the audio, as the audio is coming from my phone to the sound bar. Works pretty well - one just has to play around with pausing the video or audio feeds until they are synced-up.

pausing streaming doesnt go smoothly, get it perfectly sync'd & a minute later its outta whack again

I would honestly rather just have the PA announcer.
