And that, my friends, is why so many of us prefer English broadcasters when there's a choice. God love America, but it seems as if American announcers always feel that the picture is nothing more than a distraction from whatever it is they happen to be talking about.
It also highlights why so many of the great American announcers of the past - Curt Gowdy, Chris Schenkel, Pat Summerall, Ray Scott - were great. And why so many of them today (excepting, say, Mike Emrick) - are not.
