FWIW he has been open about his struggles with depression in the past and he just got divorced. I wonder if that has anything to do with it.


Ya, all this with the ear ring and sudden disappearance from being on-air the last week or so makes it feel like hes going through some shite and taking a break.

Solid pundit, one of my favorites.

Yeah, he is by far the best American soccer pundit imo. Wonder who nbc will replace him with?


Hopefully another American. It's nice to have at least one on the air to give some identity to the coverage.

Timmy Howard would be perfect imo

I think this is a huge possibility
Considering he’s already had experience working for NBCSNs coverage

Damn that sucks. He was great. Liked him better than those two buffoon marble-mouthed Robbies.

He wants to call people, clubs,etc out so much, and call them as we would(assholes, shitheads,etc), but i give it to him for being a pro's pro.

You can get the jist, that at times he's so pissed about the actions of a player that he wants to just call him a dumb arse.

He will be missed. Earle is boring and you literally have to pull his teeth to make a bad comment about a player/team/owner. .

Makes sense. Not a bad hire, but I’m still going to miss martino.

It could’ve been so much worse. They could’ve hired one of Stubear or Maurice edu, and I’d have to kill myself.

Yea I think this was an easy decision
He already had worked with NBC and people like him

I thought Tim Howard was one of the main reasons the B/R coverage was so bad. Color me not excited. Would rather Alexi than this guy behind the microphone, and Alexi annoys the shite out of me.

They have a quota of one American?

I like them all its the best telecast on TV
ESPN could use Martino on the ESPNFC telecast.

Lallas smugness gets a little much sometimes but he's good on the USMNT telecasts. Tells good stories of games in Mexico

I think Martino may be taking some time off
Guy just split up with his wife (who just had their 3rd kid) and moved out of his house in CT.
He’s living in the city now by himself

He did share that he had a a patent approved recently on his IG

If I had that kind of hair I’d never be depressed.

I think he’ll be better in the nbc booth because of the different chemistry. That tnt crew was just awkward.

I liked his experience with them when he’s done it before
That TNT crew sucked
One of them never played professionally and is now the coach of the nets
