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!
Although I can't understand a word of it...have you ever happened to catch aa soccer match from Mexico and here the announcer(s)?!
I have to say that if they aren't messing up a few things here or there given the speed/emotion they have during some of the plays I'd be shocked.
ARG does a great job in my opinion because he does know a LOT about the sport (JS is correct, he knows more of the behind the scenes gig then can be imagined...or discussed openly), his excitement I think feeds the TV viewers most of which like many hear know nothing about swimming...plus he's credible.
Andrea has to go...and keep the diving chick at the diving well. Summer would be great, again she knows the sport and has on air experience.
