'BT' and Darcy: The Worst Commentary Team in History?

[CJApples87]

I loved how Darcy said the Seattle Seahawks call their crowd the '19th man'.

Clueless.

 

[Man of Miracles]

BT basically makes up 95% of crap that pours out of his mouth. I turned off the volume last night because i was being suffocated with ''wowwee''

Some approximate that the number of stars in the observable universe is 30 billion trillion, others say the universe is infinite, with an infinite amount of stars.

By the end of Luke Darcy's broadcasting career, I dare say that the number of players or other personalities he has labelled 'stars' or 'absolute stars' will also be at such incalculable levels.

Hopefully that will be sooner rather than later.

Players get gigs on TV and if they are no good, they get weeded out eventually. David Schwarz an example of this on Channel 7. But somehow Darcy has managed to make his way to be a leading host and commentator with pretty much little skill, poor analysis of the game and boring style of commentary.

Combine him with BT and Saturday night's have become as much about those 2 as the actual game. It is pretty frustrating when you just want to watch the footy.

Yeah, usually dud ex players get the can quick smart. But then again Ricciuto when he first commentated was hopeless, but he's obviously worked hard and has grown into his new role quite well, he's actually quite a funny bloke and contributes meaningfully to the broadcast. Darcy however doesn't seem to see the need to actually improve his abilities and still gets top roles handed to him, can't stand the bloke.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

I don't mind Ricciuto either - although admittedly I don't hear him that often - and I actually don't mind Darcy too much, it's mainly BT that I can't stand to the point where I actually mute the TV, his puerile interaction with Richo is particularly annoying (but I like Richo on his own).

If any of us had the stamina needed, we should re-watch Saturday night's game and actually go through and detail how much time was spent on:

• Jokes
• Non-Footy related banter
• Errors

Plus, how many times players were called by first names or nick names.

Would be a hell of a thing to do.

Luke Darcy is the JJJ/Coldplay of sports commentating - safe, vanilla, boring and mind-numbingly milquetoast

Ha. After being asked who was his least favourite commentator, Mitch Robinson gave BT a whack for calling him cauliflower ears all the time.
Then he goes: "I can't stand him".

hahahahhaha

ha. The Triple M guys were joking that this was Darcey doing some modelling in the old days,

 

[Borussia Teeth]

Luke Darcy = Stiffler = Tiago Splitter.
Ever seen these three in the same place at the same time?

I believe that 'he's just an out and out star and I just love the way he goes about it' were the words forced into Luke's vocabulary when he was an infant.

For bonus points, make a drinking game out of it*.

Wtf is it with BT with "Simpson says get out of my way Stevie j" or the like pretending to know what some player says

 

[Herbs]

Have had the tv on mute and dead letter circus playing on the laptop instead. Makes for a much more pleasant experience.

 

[Righteo]

Tippett says NO NO NO, this is about ME ME ME!

Christ...

This is even worse.

 

[Keys]

This is even worse.

That was cringeworthy and the first time I noticed him do it

If I had a beer each time he pulled it tonight I'd be in a coma

He's set the mongmeter to 11 tonight

 

[Righteo]

He gets exponentially worse every week, terrible to be subjected to this shit. I feel so damn sorry for Richo having to put up with BT and Darcy.

At least Lingy gets a reprieve with the boundary rider gig.

 

[ANDYG5]

I just turned the sound down on the TV so I could listen to my kids crying. Much better

 

[pepsi]

BT and Darcy are even worst when the game is not close.
