Cripes have our commentators lowered the bar. Watching any sports on TV nowdays, and you get HD telecasts, good audio with all the background atmosphere, and some buffoon, that like talking about anything but actually what is happening on the screen,

The old adage "a picture is worth a thousand words" is dead and buried. Now it's waffle ad nauseam about absolute crap, on and on.

And 1/2 of the commentators balls haven't dropped yet, so its in a high register annoying monotone. (and the rest are women who are unfortunately starting to learn from there male counterparts to waffle on over and over, about someone who has no relevance to current events and what they did last winter while making banana bread.


The only good thing is there is a volume control.

Not nearly as good as the fast-forward button.

Record everything, then fast-forward thru the crap later.
