I know he's a US Swimming icon, but he is really, REALLY hard to listen to sometimes. He gets so excited that he messes up names and strokes, but he also just makes crap up. Then spends 5 minutes trying to prove it.
I may have to mute him! God help him if Phelps is going for # 7 and 8 by the end of the week!
I agree. I like Rowdy exactly BECAUSE he makes mistakes and calls things wrong and gets excited. He's a normal swim fan, like me! You can't help but get into the race even more with him commentating. Both announcers did a good job. I'm just glad it's over because I cannot stay up until 11:30 p.m. every night and still get up at 4:45 a.m. for swim practice!!!
Agree 100% except for the getting up at 4:45. I don't do mornings.
I always look forward to hearing Rowdy. If you ever meet him in person, you will find him to be genuine and warm.
