Problematic sports announcer

Someone asked me why I don't like ESPN blowhard Mike Tirico. Yeah, well here's why:

Mike Tirico is the worst announcer of all time. He has singlehandedly ruined the Monday Night Football franchise. He has no sense of when to let the moment speak for itself. He crams every split second with his plasticky, mundane, pre packaged commentary. Just shut up for 6 seconds now and then. We're interested in watching the game, not listening to you state the blindingly obvious for three hours. The broadcast is more about him than about the game or the players. He never says anything interesting or controversial. He has mastered saying what you're supposed to say at exactly the right time like some sort of sub human drone. He's a mindless collection of facts and statistics pushed in front of him by researchers. In short, he sucks and I'll continue railing against him until I reach a settlement with ESPN.
