I'll be honest and say that I tune out the announcing teams these days. They pretty much tell me something that I already know. The only thing the color guy adds is when he [and it's ALWAYS a "he" for some reason] spots a foul before the referee announces it and even that's unnecessary. And it gets my goat when you can hear their excitement when one team makes a big play but then, they call a big play by the other team as if they're describing grass grow. Nothing lends credibility to the viewer like the presumption that the announcers would prefer one team to beat the other.
