When it comes to Dewhurst, that's my usual MO - abusive and thoughtless. I really can not stand him for commentary.
Dewhurst does a fantastic job at Breakers games so this is not a 'he's just a fucking wanker' post. He does have skills for certain jobs. The Breakers is one, football commentary on TV is not.
Largely what you wrote, I agree with. He calls it like its a radio show and no one can see the action yet, we can! Some times, the pics speak for themselves. He is also poorly researched and makes numerous errors. I just think if he is going to be as monotone as Fred, then less is certainly better and shutting up is a far better option cause then its not just this 90min monotonous drone or as you say 'rather be in bed'
Jeff, I think you might have the wrong Andrew when it comes to the Breakers, thats Andrew Mulligan of The Crowd Goes Wild fame. I haven't watched them in a while so that could have changed.
