Why Enrique Garay will never narrate the NFL with the style of Martinoli

One of the recognized voices in Mexico to watch the matches of the NFL it’s about the Enrique Garay. With a trajectory of more than 30 years in sports journalism, he found a space in Aztec TV to relate the matches of the american football league with the Mexican fans.

With a particular style and a passion for sports, Enrique Garay created the way to approach the public and detail each play of the game. However, on different occasions they have proposed a model to follow to generate more ratings on the channel; copy the style of Christian Martinoli and Luis García.

Despite the fact that they are soccer chroniclers of the MX League, for some businessmen of the television they came to propose the idea of ​​imitating the model and combining the NFL with the extrovert style from Martinoli and the Doctor Garcia.

But Garay’s response was forceful and refused to do it. In an interview with Toño de Valdés spoke about his reason for not merging the Martinoli style with the NFL. He began by telling that the great rating fight among television stations is the one that has affected the individual styles of each journalist, as they force them to say or release phrases that keep the public’s attention.

“What I fight a lot is that the ratings people, the net knows the numbers but they do not know the television. They have told me thousands of crazy things: two years ago someone told me: ‘You have to narrate the NFL like Christian and Luis do football,’ “he said.

The hodgepodge between jokes and narration are not to Garay’s liking and less for the NFL because in his point of view there are more plays to describe instead of football. The insistence of the rating analysts made him uncomfortable.

And when the proposal of said narrative style was put on the table, Enrique Garay replied: “Güey! You don’t know what you’re saying, you’re wrong.” He explained that the Martinoli – García duo he intersperses his jokes with the narration because there are periods in which no goals fall and they must see the way to remedy it.

“See that Luis and Christian have a soccer game where it’s 90 minutes for a goal and sometimes there isn’t even a goal, that’s why they tell jokes. Here in the NFL Tom Brady kicks the ball every 20 seconds. How do you think ?! “

The chronicler of Olympic Games he reproached the activity of the channel’s rating analysts. Although they look for ways to attract a larger audience, to Enrique Garay sometimes your ideas are not the best option. “Many people want to look for him, I believe Toño that things have to be as they should be, and the narratives as well.”

The last participation by Enrique Garay with Aztec Sports it was during the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, is currently out of sports narration because his television station did not broadcast the NFL.

Began the 2021-2022 NFL season and the emotions of the touchdown returned after the COVID-19 break. It was expected that Aztec Sports had the rights to broadcast the games week after week; However, it was not.

Those of Ajusco did not obtain the rights of the championship and will only have the coverage of the Super Bowl in February 2022. Now the specialists of the NFL of Aztec TV they will have to wait until the end of the season to have a minimum participation when the Super Bowl.

As in the 2020-2021 season, Aztec TV will have to wait until the month of February 2022 to have coverage of the most important sporting event in the United States.
