I can't explain what it is - but the part of you that's a fan dies a little bit. It really did - you had to watch it because you have to not because you wanted to. Once I got in the biz - it became a chore. When I was a kid - I would watch sports anytime and everywhere. But you do get jaded, you do get burned out. Try hauling cameras (as a one man band) and turning stories on deadline when a prick baseball player won't come out for 45 minutes after the game so you can get the key interview for your piece. When it becomes "your job" - as fun as it may sound, it becomes less fun. You're not that close to the game so it's still enjoyable. This is coming from a MSMer "sort of" - Gasp I know! The gall! I was in sports TV for a number of years and after a while I got out of it. Hurry up and give him a talk show FOX so I can completely tune him out. Joe Buck is the worst of the worst in my book and if he doesn't want to call Baseball anymore there are a million of people that would jump at the chance. I'll take John Madden's insane ramblings any day because you know in the end he loves the Sport of Football and he's just crazed at the moment and can't put his thoughts together. One of the main things I say during radio and online interviews is that there's a HUGE difference between an announcer who makes a ton mistakes and one who makes mistakes while putting himself above the game. There's always a disparity in the way I cover announcers on the site. It's people like this that give the whole profession a bad name and make those who do their homework and bust their ass look bad by association. It's your g'damn job to know what you're talking about. But for a daily Sports talk show host and the voice of the World Series to bash Sports this way is just wrong and shows how much the game suffers when you continue to put them on air. I get it and that's what the internet is for. You have kids, your job is demanding and you're just tired as hell. I completely understand the average American not watching Baseball during the week. Well his father brought him to the dance in the family station wagon, but Baseball is ultimately who he's partying with. Buck wants to be a Hollywood star and doesn't have time for the Sport that brought him to the dance. This is the main reason why Joe Buck and his kind are probably the worst thing for Sports. You have the coolest damn job in the World in Sports Fans eyes, and while you're supposed to be serving as the voice of the fans, you act like you're above the game. Without going off my rocker I just want to point out that this is the reason why everyone is upset with a lot of broadcasters in Sports. Cry me a river! What's even worse than that was the fact that he was on for another 4 or 5 minutes talking about a Cubs-Red Sox World Series. You're getting paid millions of dollars for watching a game three hours. FOX's national voice for Baseball openly admitted to not enjoying the game he covers, cramming for weekend matchups, thinking that the games are too long and that the game just isn't the same.

MotorTrend's 2023 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro Specifications It's kind of a big one, but 750 miles is theoretically possible. And there's your asterisk (*) from the headline. Considering Toyota lists the single tank range as 608 miles, I think that was a successful day of efficiency running. Factor in the cooler air in the evenings (and maybe a good tailwind), and I think I could have pushed it to the 750-mile mark. Added to the 526 miles I'd already driven, that means I could have driven 740 miles total. Going further, if I'd maintained my average of 23.0 mpg, I could have traveled as many as another 213.5 miles before running out of gas. Our 2023 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro has a 32.2-gallon tank, and I had only used 22.9 gallons on the trip. I still had a ton of fuel left when I refilled the tank and the end of the drive. Not only that, but I could have kept going. So how did the Tundra do? At the end of my 526-mile journey, I did in fact beat the EPA's highway fuel economy number for the Tundra TRD Pro by averaging 23.0 mpg throughout my long day of driving.
