Bad conundrum during the Lions test over the weekend. I like the background noise of the crowd so I prefer to leave the sound on. Problem is that I have to listen to Ian f_king Smith. Is it really that hard to have Sumo as the sideline commentator? Can somebody push Smiffy off a cliff or something?
I think he'd bounce.

It's not strictly about commentators but what annoys me is the new round of gimmicks Fox Sports brings out every year to "bring you closer to the action." What was putting a hear rate monitor on Larkham meant to show us? Has his heart rate ever been more than 5 beats higher than his resting heart rate? He shows no emotion whatsoever. And now even 'Fox Field' has made its way into the games themselves; it might be useful in the midweek show where they can actually breakdown the play in detail but I don't need Kafe to put a big circle around Folau to let me know he's about to get the ball when I watched the same passage of play replayed ten times five minutes ago.
I will say when they mic'ed up the players it gave a good insight into the personality of the players (hearing Kerevi giving directions on the field revealed a leadership capacity I didn't realise he had) but it's so sanitised to make it family friendly that you never get to hear the players giving it to each other which could actually be pretty damn funny.

I heard Nisbo/Nesbo trying a Mex line on Saturday night when he described the BIL v AB game as "pulsating".
Only the great man can use lines like this.

Interesting in last night's game he forgot to mute the mike and when the ABs walked through literally for one of their tries he was fairly dripping with contempt when he said, "You've got to be kidding me"
Pity very few of them are honest enough to express their true feelings on the mike and give some real critique.
Where is the Greg Clarke option?

Speaking of which, unfortunate one for the Japanese commentators.
Familiar, but still unfortunate.

Justin Marshall "Synergy" Watch:
Last week's "synergy" introduction: 79th min.
This week's "synergy" introduction: 75th min.
leaving it late these days but in the end remembers his notepad in front of him with one word scribbled on it.
At that rate of decay, he'll reach Synergy Singularity in next year's Super Rugby and something will explode. Tyvek suits recommended.

hope he makes a symposium presentation just prior to this epochal event, his closing line, "..... and THET, ladies and gentlemen, is synergy singularity. BOOMFAH!"

Oh God yes. He can take those reams and reams of pointless stats he props himself up with for minutes on end and pound them up his arse.
Visa Visor Pole, cannot BELIEVE that TJ & Justin Marshriek combine for just 10 votes. That's less than what bloody Shiggins has.
Shiggins leaves a more searing impression in ones psyche.

Isn't that a little like kieth Quinn who used to be the main commentator in NZ? He used to hace stats for stats, a lot of them from games he used to be ball boy at!
