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.
