What do you think Duck?
Blah blah blah BT
Blah simper blah Lingy - don't you think?
Yes Bruce
That was a great kick for goal - oh it missed
I thought it was good too BT don't you think so Richo?
Blah blah Bruce
Blah simper blah Duck- isn't it?
Yes Bruce - shut up Bruce
I thought the curse that I mentioned a few weeks ago might have been broken when I realised Bruce wasn't there last night. Less overuse of nicknames and an absence of unnecessary questions after each statement would be great. Don't you think?
But the Channel 7 (over)commentators quickly made me realise that the curse persists.
The only positive was that Basil didn't obviously have a nickname; didn't use other nicknames for his fellow commentators (at least not often enough to annoy me) and didn't asks unnecessary post-statement questions ...
BUT what's with the endless and repetitive trivial trivia? Why is the chatter incessant? How many inane explanations can you bozos come up with to try and explain a trend that consists of a single action?
Maybe the poor ratings have as much to do with the commentary as the 'state of the game'.
Describe the game you bozos. Don't jump in to add more meaningless banter whenever another commentator takes a breath. If you feel you have to fill pauses in the commentary - think again. Stop trying to explain every meaningless incident with such insight that shows you to be complete dickheads - and describe the game - without trying to big-note yourselves.

When we hit the front last night, there was no positivity, BT just started banging on about us not kicking 100 pts for so long.
They don't want to commentate Carlton games because the low scoring forks up their ad breaks. They commentate Carlton games like the Pudding Face Twins, it's all about me, me, me, me!
Put the same crew on a Bulldogs / Geelong / Norp / Swans type 40pt to 60pt game and they talk like it's better than sliced bread, yet those games do not rate!
If I was the AFL I'd be giving Ch.7 a please explain, because those spuds are ruining the sport for the fans!
But lets not forget, there a lot of back-room influence that occurs here, have a look over at 10. CheatsFC supporters have just white-anted Quartermaine to get Keyte in the news job. People think it's an accident or coincidence that the media is dominated by CheatsFC supporters!

Yes, too much talking about trout fishing in Quebec or some other nonsense, deliberately making a point that the game is boring and somehow beneath them.
The bottom of the barrel has found a new bottom.

"LLLLLLOOOOYYYYD !" seems to have replaced "boy oh boy wowee"
This media caper is certainly a tough one.

It takes time to innovate like that, that's why they get the big dollars! :o

) ) )I've learned to watch it without their totally indulgent commentary - listening to the dog f@rt is far preferable, but both are on the nose!!! I like the Duck's take on things but not enough to listen to his c0ckhead mates. Ling has gone down hill, badly.
