I have the good fortune of being able to watch it on NBC-HD with Al Trautwig and Mary Something-or-other and the commentary was sparse and informative when made...they let the pictures do the talking...
That's the problem with modern commentators they think if they're not talking they're not doing their job..I still recall the 1984 games in L.A. on ABC when Peter Jennings basically told Jim McKay to shut up during the opening ceremony because he was yapping over everything...
Then of course there's Costas' inevitable "you can't shake Djabuti" joke....:eyes:
All in all too much yapping on the network..better to watch it on High-Def if you have it...much better commentary and unbelievable pictures and sound...
