[QUOTE="LittleGuy, post: 626834, member: 44360"] I really dislike him but can see why UK viewers would like him more than I do. It was always cringe time for Canadian fans when he came on for Churchill Cup coverage, he would not fit in over here at all. He never lets the game speak for itself and feels the need to not allow a moment of silence without interjecting himself. He comes off as though he has a thesauras or dictionary beside him at all times and some of the words he's usd to describe play I've laughed out loud at. He really comes off as a guy attempting to show us how intelligent he is a all times and I hope not to tick anyone off here but he kind of seems like a stereotypical upper class snob from England who got the commentary job because his pals at University gave it to him in a drunken bet at the Empire Club. Even more than those things I hate the little rhetorical questions he asks himself before certain moments e.g. "Well this is a tough kick for him, to bring Saracens within two, can he do it here? In these conditions? In this close a match" [I]Kick is taken and is succesful[/I] Yes he can!!!" Like just Shut the **** up and let the kick speak for itself the viewers at home can see the scoreboard and know the stakes!!! .........Argggggghhhhh rant over [/QUOTE]
