Fans were treated to the worst in-game promo ever last night
One of the big reasons networks like to air live sports is because they can use the platform to push their other shows that nobody cares about.
Over the years, though, promos for other shows have gotten more complex and high-tech. And networks have gone out of their way to blur the line between what’s a commercial and what is the actual broadcast. What made this particular promo so off-putting is that Bob Costas, handling play-by-play, and Lauren Shehadi, handling sideline duties, were forced to participate in the cringe.
Shehadi reported that some dragon, which looked like a bird, was gonna breathe fire on the fans and then went into a plug for the show.The awkwardness didn’t end with the promo, though. Costas put the cherry on top of the sundae by explaining to people that the dragon was not real. Good grief, what a trainwreck!Brian Anderson’s call of Yordan Alvarez’s stunning game-winning three-run home run that gave Houston a 7–6 comeback win against Seattle was excellent.
