I second this notion. That would be a great idea!
Standing by my comment!
Fans of other sport realms and commentators all have their favorite teams, or players, which they would like to see, do well and or win! Well established sports such as I don't know let's say NCAA Men's basketball, since that's what's hot right now. Commentators like Dick Vitale lay out the facts, and he gives them to you from all angles. When you have a commentator that is pro anything, especially someone who has their hands in a team of people, then we as a disc golfing community aren't getting a fair shake on commentary.
Ultimately, people are just asking for solid, all around commentary that's fair!
Why is that so bad?

Fair/unfair and conflict of interest are terms that are bringing the conversation into the realm of ethics. If DGPTV wants to use commentators that have a confusing rats nest of loyalties.....that has nothing to do with ethics.

I was laid up sick and got to watch the whole thing. Commentary didn't bother me except for Dave calling everyone stupid for taking risky shots inside 100'. I got the impression that "Coach Dave" was gonna have some harsh words for his team in the locker room after the round.
Maybe the commentary did bother me. Mostly Dave. Crazy John is great, he just needs a straight-man to reel him back in sometimes.
Like I said, I watched the whole thing and I got about zero arguments with free, live DG.

well at least Uli shook McBeths hand.
:thmbup:
exactly they had nothing to do with it, but the greatest teammates would have something to do with it like insuring their teammate on their card doesnt turn in a bad scorecard. That's what defines having someone's back. Or maybe one of the overzealous teammates that came rushing to Will on 18 before eveyone else putted out could have made sure Will's card is good. It's just one example that displays the class act of this team.

Us (Prodigy) vs Them (Everyone else)
This is the mentality of every Team Prodigy member. Or at least if looks like it.

I gave money when they did the Vibram Open a few years ago and it was unwatchable. The audio and video sync sucked but at least for a stream the picture quality was excellent. :thmbup:

Great attitude to have when you have next to 0 marketshare and falling. :thmbup:

Pretty interesting. Being so new and all. I know controversy can help you advertise. But wow this could potentially be like sinking the ship before it even sets sail.

If it is any consolation to Paul McBeth... shooting a 39(!?!) won't be easily forgotten by me, whereas I already kind of wish I could forget that Will won the tourney(a medley of bias coverage, poor sportsmanship-including but not limited to early and excessive celebrations).

Totally agree with this whole post. No complaints except for the "coach dave" mentality pointing out all the flaws the best in our sport were making.
Wow he walked right by Mcbeth.
that whole thing felt so awkward to me.im not sure if it was the card miscount or the new sponsor but it just didnt seem comfortable.thanks for the videos

I didn't see the 4th video earlier. That was jacked up. You gotta give the guy a handshake, or a fist bump or something.
I'll give Will the benefit of the doubt, maybe he congratulated him afterwards. At least I hope so.

its really funny to hear all this "team" prodigy talk in regards to an individual sport
