    Just spitballing off of what I've seen other places, but does NBC try and lure Gary Thorne away from the Orioles?

    Thorne is already off the Orioles, at least he was this past season. Ben McDonald was their PxP guy.

    Marchand floated Mike Tirico as a possibility. Did great as a fill-in on a handful of games, but he's got too much going on. Thorne would be outstanding.

    NBC’s deal is up after next season I believe. I’ve heard ESPN wants to get in again, not sure if that is a serious possibility. I assume if they did it doesn’t mean NBC would be out.

    It's a good thought, but Thorne is not a young man. He's almost the same age as Doc Emrick.

    If you're the NHL, do you want to be back on ESPN? Surely their games would be buried on ESPN+ or other places that aren't the mothership.

    I think they would want some sort of relationship with ESPN. I don’t think going exclusive with them would make any sense.

    Who the hell didn't like Doc Emrick? Did they also hate ice cream, cool fall days and puppies?

    We've had people on here in the past on hockey threads who said they didn't get the love for him.

    My biggest problem with him is that he's not Gary Thorne.

    I don’t like him, I don’t get the love for him at all. To each their own.
