I just found found that Fox Sports World is going to use American announcers-- mainly Max Bretos-- to broadcast matches from the Spanish League. I wrote the below letter to protest. Please help me by sending your criticisms to feedback@foxsports.com or to the executive producer, Dermot McQuarrie, at DMcQuarrie@foxsportsinternational.com. It may not do any good, but it's the only hope we have.

Thank you,

Moo


Dear Mr.. McQuarrie

Since Wednesday, I have been so excited about the return of Spanish soccer to FSW. The soccer watching world seemed round again. Thank you! Thank You! Thank you! Then I find out that . . . MAX BRETOS IS DOING THE COMMENTARY. No, please, no! Max is ketchup on lobster, the Pete Best of the Beatles (except you don't fire him-- why oh! why?), a McDonalds in the Guggenheim. He's a kind of anti-alchemist, capable of turning a golden match into a pile of scrap metal. Please, find a way to spare us. Remove him, now! Replace him with the Sky Sports broadcast. If you have even a shred of compassion for the viewer, you'll axe this joke of a farce (and not replace him with any other American announcers).

Thank you for your time & attention,

Spanish League?

Think I'd rather watch Scottish League mate lol

Scorchio!

Chris Waddle!

I sent an e mail of complaint to foxsportsworld when they cancelled the EPL premiership show.

If my memory serves me correctly I called Max Bretos and Christian Miles a pair of ass clowns!!

It didnt do me any good but it felt good to send the e mail though!! smile

I heard Fox revived that EPL show after a successful campaign ?????

Yes indeedy, I watched it on Sunday evening.

But the way Sunderland are playing the EPL highlights won't interest me next year ...

I thought that as Sky now has the rights to the 1st Div, there might be some of it on FSW. But no. At least I can get the results and goals on Sky Sports News, until Gillingham get promoted again. Why do they show the same match again and again when the have so many they could show.

I think there is a show called premiership review or something like that?


The old host of the old premiership show Lionel Bienvenu is now a sports anchor down in Denver on their local ABC channel.

He wasn't very happy with Fox for cancelling his show so he left and went down (or up!) to Denver!!

Lionel was a card. Some of his catchprases were so bad, you'd cringe but helluva funny as well.
