I want to be a sports commentator (when I grow up)

[cigarfan]

I read an inteview with Doug Flutie, in which he said he watched football on TV with the sound muted most of the time. He said, unless you've played you couldn't really understand what was going on...and if you had played, you didn't need it explained to you.
He didnt' have a high opinion of most commentators, though he didn't name names. This was about 4-5 years ago I read this.
