Previous Post I doubt I'll get to see much of the sports here. The coverage here is okay but tends to be at times I'm not home or awake or on channels I don't subscribe to. Still, I hope that other folks get their moneysworth out of it.

... if I do watch then it'll likely be how I watch most sports these days, with the commentary muted.

I've taken a real dislike to today's inane commentator chatter, which is often more about making sounds to keep the airwaves full than about the game itself. Most of the key information like past records or stats get flashed up across the screen anyhow.

What do you think? Does commentating help you feel as if you're there? Does it give you insights into the sport? Whip up your excitement? Or is it just former jocks with limited communications skills prattling over the action?
