Leading off, I know this is a soccer commentator. I'm okay with this, because tennis announcers suck so much, they don't even have pictures of them on the internet.
Alright, so I am watching the Wimbledon final, being all patriotic and shit (Go American! Death to the Foreign Born!), and these two idiots calling the match are just ridiculous. They spend less time talking about the actual match than they do observing on other things.
What sort of other things? Fans, the weather, notable people in the crowd, the quality of the grass, the FRENCH, and Andy Roddick's perspiration problem. I kid you not, at one point, WHILE PLAY WAS GOING ON, the announcers did an impersonation of HENRY FUCKING KISSINGER, (notable U.S. politician and war criminal).
So, when they finally got down to talking about the match, we heard such gems as "Hushed, quiet silence." as the crowd erupted in applause, or "It doesn't feel good, falling down like that" when Roddick took a tumble. They also made references to "the rope-a-dope" (wrong sport), clay courts not being Roddick's forté, (wrong tournament), and, the movie Top Gun.
What Tom Cruise has to do with Tennis, I have no idea. The whole thing is rather ridiculous. I suggest muting it and doing the commentary yourself.
I give Tennis Commentators a:
