Historic Play. Interview Hysterics. | Winners & Losers in Today’s Green Room

After winning their first NBA championship in 50 years, the Milwaukee Bucks are still making history, announcing Lisa Byington as their full-time TV play-by-play voice for the upcoming season.

Byington, who will be the Bucks’ lead voice on Bally Sports Wisconsin, becomes the first woman to work as a full-time play-by-play announcer of a professional sports men’s team.

“I understand the groundbreaking nature of this hire, and I appreciate the fact that during this process that aspect was addressed, but never made a primary focus,” Byington said in the NBA’s press release. “In fact, I applaud the Bucks for taking the first steps toward making hires like this more of the norm in the NBA. Because it’s time.”

In recent years, the NBA has seen a number of women break through the male-dominated sportscasting industry to work as game analysts. Doris Burke is recognized as one of ESPN’s top game analysts for their NBA coverage and Sarah Kustok is a highly regarded color commentator for the Brooklyn Nets.

Women as play-by-play announcers remain far less common, and the veteran, trailblazing sportscaster is a groundbreaking hire..

Byington has worked as a play-by-play voice, studio host and reporter for CBS, Turner Sports, Fox and the Big Ten Network during her highly successful and now historic career.

Newsmax’s Grant Stinchfield had a major-league meltdown where he screamed and cut off a guest on his show for mildly criticizing Donald Trump over the former president’s approach to Afghanistan.

Stinchfield spoke with Joe Saboe, an Iraq War vet who recently made headlines for his efforts to help people flee Afghanistan.

Stinchfield and Saboe had a dispute about whether it’s now a “hostage situation” in the country, and the host eventually made the argument that Trump would’ve never let this happen.

Stinchfield moved to close the segment, but before he could, Saboe countered, saying “we followed this closely from multiple administrations. We know that Trump’s administration’s efforts here were fairly weak, that they were trying to limit the number of people that would get out…”

Stinchfield claimed he was “low on time” and once again tried to end it. Saboe kept on speaking though, causing Stinchfield to repeatedly shout “Cut him off now!”

“You’re not gonna blame this on President Trump on my show!” He exclaimed. “Don’t come on this program and take the talking points of the left and blame President Trump! That’s not helping anybody!”

A total meltdown, screaming at his own guest… most newscasters would consider this an embarrassing moment. Most.
