BT is just a narcissistic, patronising bully.
Most of his commentary is just him trying to score points over Darcy and Richo rather than calling the game.
Remember when they just called the game?

The Harry Taylor thing has been discussed, but I want to touch on another comment of his which really highlights his insensitive nature. At half time of the Collingwood v Geelong game, Daniel Menzel was on the boundary line with Lingy talking about his knee injuries, specifically about how he is dealing with having blown both ACL's, the second one 20 minutes into his first VFL game back. BT the fcukwit chimes in telling young Dan "You know that you're going to need two knee replacements in about 30 years don't you?".
To Darcy and Richo's credit, they were both seemingly unimpressed, but BT's reaction to the condemnation he recieved from those two was staggering. Instead of admitting he was out of line for what he said to a kid obviously battling some mental demons from his injuries, BT being the arrogant pr!ck that he is just goes on to plead his case about being correct. His reactions of "what, what, I am right aren't I?" were baffling to say the least, as he just couldn't come to terms with how out of line he was.
Here's a tip for you BT you ignorant git, just because you have something 'right' to say, doesn't mean you have the right to say it. You don't go up to someone who's in a wheelchair and say "your legs are fcuked" or tell someone with Cerebral Palsy that motor skills would not be one of their strong points just because your comment may well be factually correct. So in this case BT, it wasn't necessary to tell young Dan something that he would have already been made aware by his surgeon.
She was just as bad as BT and Darcy, but at least she'd be good at other "jobs". In fact I have a "job" for her right now.thread needs more

The constant flogging of tweets by BT and Luke Darcy is cringe worthy. They always go out of their way to mention twitter and fango. FFS nobody cares.
I know they are but it's so hilarious how badly they try and copy the American broadcasting model which isn't even the best model. i don't know what US sports they base it off. The American one is alright though and I've never watched an NFL or NBA game where they have even mentioned twitter. They rarely talk about the players personal lives, appearance and in the NFL they never show the fans close up yet alone mention them. In the NBA they might show a funny fan occasionally which is okay but the point is they don't flog it. The AFL should look at the EPL broadcasting. It's fantastic. They just talk about the bloody game. Fox Footy seems to do it better.In their defense, they are most likely under orders from their producers to flog Fango and the tweets that come in as it is a 7 Product. That being said, the useless comments on the fireworks (last night); poking fun at fans, or some player's hairstyle or boundary umpire's hairstyle; etc.. cannot possibly come from the producers. I understand there is catering for the "casual fans" but it sounds like they are catering for themselves aka doing it for shits and giggles. $1.2 bill well spent
Have a listen to the Kiwi commentators on any rugby union game. The right mix of excitement, analysis and humor every single time. It's not hard.

Better than BT. There, I said it.
Unfairly maligned because she's a woman. People harped on about her voice, but it's no worse than BT's.
Also knew more about the game than some of those who played at AFL level and are given commentary gigs just because of their name.
