They made the Mexican soccer announcer guy look composed and stately in comparison.
Some of those announcers were the first good argument I've seen that, yes, perhaps people shouldn't be consuming 64oz Mountain Dews as a matter of routine... Fuck, man, DECAF!! try it!!

I managed to find a live feed of the BBC coverage to watch it as it happened. Some of us don't have the fancy NBC packages, Jay, so we can only watch the delayed garbage of whatever is on NBC proper.
