The Athletics commentary team are good. But then I dont mind half the ones you're complaining about
(with the exception of Inverdale!)
Yeah actually, they are pro and the swimming people seem to know what they're on about.
Haven't watched any boxing yet but really it's just that and cycling that I'm interested in. Porter will be better on the track as he'll be able to see everything i suppose.
Adrian Chiles is great.
I particularly like the way he's not afraid to ask the obvious question that the viewer usually wants answered. Like yesterday when the gymnastics floor excercise was going on I heard him ask the gymnastics expert... "how bouncy *is* that floor?"

I'd much rather that than so called 'experts' banging on about stuff they clearly dont have the first clue about

Did anyone see Steve Redgrave and John Inverdale in their wet weather poncho things this morning?
Inverdale's blue one made him look like an evil smurf

Hugh Porter during the TTs this morning;
"When they change the national kits, we don't get to see them until they're revealed."
See, if we had David Duffield was doing the job we would have learnt all about the history of the Great Wall, the local wines and the restaurant he ate in the night before. And then Sean Kelly could have told him to shut up and be spot on about a break instead of that Aussie geezer whoever he is.
There must be enough Brits around like Sean Yates or Malcolm Elliott who could be utilised in that role. I'd rather have a septic than an Aussie co-commentating.
I was just watching the 50m freestyle, and Morrhouse was comentating with someone who's name i can't remember, but he after heat 12, when the French guy ( who isn't Alain Bernard) broke the OR he sounded so excited about watching it.
Not in a 'oh the olympic record has been broken again!' way. More in the way that a young boy might had he been taken along to see his heroes competeing. It was quite cute.
I'm only back in the country so haven't had a chance to evaluate the Brit comentators yet (apart from Eddie Butler doing the archery which was just odd) but I doubt they can be as bad as some of the French ones.

I can't hide from the truth any longer - I've got a serious crush on Hazel Irving! She's never made much impression on me before, but her sunny blandness and her cute wee Scots lassy accent make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I really couldn't care less about most of the sports, but I keep watching for whenever Hazel appears. She nicely treads the middle ground between the untouchable glam of Gabby Logan and nice but dull Harrods woman 'auntie' Sue Barker (three blondes on a sofa). Maybe it has something to do with the fact that she's on in the morning - I wake up, turn the tv on, and there's Hazel welcoming me to a new day. Lovely. I'm beginning to fantasise about her - she always seems to wear trousers, but I bet she'd look great in a short black skirt, stockings and strappy high heels (stop it! stop it!). I'm really jealous of Adrian bloody Chiles, who gets to sit next to her every day, the jammy fat bastard!

Pleasant and unpatronising
Congrats on "sunny blandness" - it's perfect but, overall, it's fucking sick.
Eslewhere, the slow tracking across the presenters (noticed it esp. with Sue 'I noshed Cliff Richard' Barker) has become like Chinese water torture.
In fact, the studio director must be on double-strength okey-cokey tablets; in, out, in out, move it all about.

Another vote for the BBC athletics specialist commentators. An excellent team.
Agreed, although I've perhaps not got it as bad as you. I think it's the accent particularly. Scottish women have the sexiest voices if you ask me.
Never seen the appeal of Gabby Logan/Yorath, and Sue Barker is just Cliff Richard's leftovers.

Funnier than he thinks he is.
But you and me are old enough to remember the God of athletics commentary. The late and greatest Ron Pickering!

I enjoyed Steve Ovett this morning and he seemed to make Jonathan Edwards a bit more interesting too!
I like Claire Balding - sorry slight tangent but I've just been watching her on the BBC feed - it's interesting to see her away from her specialist sport and doing a bit more general reporting.

I once heard John Inverdale interviewing Professor Noam Chomsky on the BBC World Service - I shit thee not....
From memory, his 'money shot' question was 'Come on, professor - all this protesting malarkey - it's all a bit passe and Sixties, isn't it?'
Chomsky deserved a Nobel prize just for keeping his temper...
BTW - just how much frigging rowing can the Beeb broadcast? - seems like every heat of every frigging event in the mornings, interspersed with a bit of sod-all happening in the eerily silent sailing.

Louis smith just looked embarrassed. Matt Baker came across like a hysterical fuckwitted loonspud
The first time I heard the gymnastics commentator I thought it had to be a pisstake, he's like a camp Alan Partridge
