Some media personalities Keary has been drawn to include NBA expert Colin Cowherd, NFL analysts Tom Brady and Dan Orlovsky and English Premier League legend Roy Keane, although he stresses he doesn\u2019t want to copy any of them solely. <\/p>\n
\u201cColin Cowherd is good just because the way he can find a topic, but then relate it back to something like everyday people do like a business or something that people can really understand,\u201d Keary said. <\/p>\n
\u201cI reckon Tom Brady\u2019s being good with the analytical side of it. <\/p>\n
\u201cI like Dan Orlovsky because he\u2019s got the analytical side, but he\u2019s also got the personality side and he can kind of say things and be opinionated without going over the top, but also back it up with whether it\u2019s evidence or footage or a reason to explain it. <\/p>\n
\u201cKurt Warner is pretty good more on the analytical side of it. <\/p>\n
\u201cI like the Manchester United legend Roy Keane. I don\u2019t want to be like him, but I like that he can show his emotion and is probably too honest sometimes. You know what you get with him and he is never going to lie or protect. He never protects Manchester United.\u201d <\/p>\n
Keary has earnt high praise from experts in the industry and punters on the street alike for his ability to sum things up in a digestible and concise way, while he also isn\u2019t afraid to give his opinion. <\/p>\n
However, his main aim is not to go into any game or situation with a preconceived way of thinking or bias. <\/p>\n

\u201cI never want to have I guess an agenda or I don\u2019t want to ever be biased,\u201d Keary said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to see stuff as if I was sitting at home with my mates and talk as if I would with them. <\/p>\n
\u201cSo if I can see something\u2019s really good or I think I can see something going on in the game I\u2019ll say it and then if I feel like something\u2019s not good or there\u2019s a reason for it I\u2019ll try to say that too, but I want to always be able to explain it and articulate it in a way which people can understand and not just say, \u2018So and so is bad\u2019 and then not explain why or so and so is playing well.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut so far I have just gone, just be yourself and be as honest as you can both ways whether it\u2019s good or bad or if I have an opinion on something, say it, but make sure you know how to articulate it and make sure I have thought about it and never get personal with someone. <\/p>\n
\u201cLike it\u2019s not personal. It\u2019s just you\u2019re commenting on the game or their performance.\u201d <\/p>\n
One of the challenges Keary faces is commentating on players, who he shared a dressing room with as recently as 2024 in the NRL. <\/p>\n
The 34-year-old is conscious of being too tough on players without backing it up with evidence and says it is not personal, it is just what he sees around their performance. <\/p>\n
However, he conceded it is hard on players having to listen to commentary while you are playing. <\/p>\n

\u201cAs a player they probably listen a little bit more now, but you would be surprised we probably didn\u2019t as much back then,\u201d Keary said. <\/p>\n
\u201cBut I feel like as long as it is not like a personal attack and they (players) know that those guys (commentators) are there to entertain the audience and people do it in different ways. <\/p>\n
\u201cBut it is hard as a player. I copped it both ways at different times. You get the good stuff when you play really well and you get people questioning when you\u2019re not. That\u2019s just part of the whole thing and I never I never took anything really too personal when I playing. <\/p>\n
\u201cBut you can cop it a lot more if someone can articulate it in a way where it makes sense to a lot of people and you\u2019re not just bagging people or you\u2019re not just saying things are really good and everyone can see that at home. <\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone can see if someone\u2019s playing really well, but why they playing well or why is a team all of a sudden playing really well or why have they dominated for so long? <\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s probably the one thing I\u2019ve enjoyed about it being able to look a little bit deeper than saying, the Panthers are playing really well. Why are they actually playing well? What are they doing that people at home maybe can\u2019t see.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Luke Keary is channelling his favourite commentators from the NRL, NFL, NBA and EPL to create his own…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":395641,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[204437,204439,204444,83744,142522,204440,204434,204447,204446,204438,203888,204436,2024,204431,2647,8019,204448,101714,83745,204441,8061,204435,204443,202974,113124,111,139,53127,69,204442,181053,4713,204432,204445,48517,9491,213,19547,2654,59014,204433,202975],"class_list":{"0":"post-395640","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-american-sport","9":"tag-american-stuff","10":"tag-analytical-side","11":"tag-coaching-role","12":"tag-cold-start","13":"tag-colin-cowherd","14":"tag-commentary-heroes","15":"tag-commentary-idols","16":"tag-commentator-heroes","17":"tag-dan-orlovsky","18":"tag-dean-young","19":"tag-debut-clash","20":"tag-europe","21":"tag-favourite-commentators","22":"tag-fox-league","23":"tag-ireland","24":"tag-kurt-warner","25":"tag-kyle-flanagan","26":"tag-luke-keary","27":"tag-manchester-united-football-club","28":"tag-mark-st-john","29":"tag-media-career","30":"tag-media-yarn","31":"tag-michael-oconnor","32":"tag-national-football-league","33":"tag-new-zealand","34":"tag-newzealand","35":"tag-northern-europe","36":"tag-nz","37":"tag-personality-side","38":"tag-playing-career","39":"tag-roy-keane","40":"tag-rugby-league-commentary","41":"tag-sliding-doors-moment","42":"tag-south-sydney","43":"tag-south-sydney-rabbitohs","44":"tag-sports","45":"tag-super-league","46":"tag-sydney-roosters","47":"tag-tom-brady","48":"tag-tom-brady-and-dan-orlovsky-and-english-premier-league","49":"tag-ugly-recruitment-truth"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/395640","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=395640"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/395640\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/395641"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=395640"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=395640"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=395640"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
