Finn: I get the American version not the CBC broadcast.
FB: OK, I can understand that you believe he is pointing out the obvious. I think that 99% of the interviews with coaches and coaches during and after the game are mindless pat answers:
"So, Fred, how do you plan to beat the other team tonight?"
"We're going to out hustle them and score more goals"
"So, coach, how do you think your team is doing tonight?"
"We doing OK but we need to keep hustling..." (enlightening)
Kinda reminds me of an interview with a boxer I heard one time. When asked what his strategy was, he said "I'm gonna go in there and knock the sucker out"
I suppose it is due to the fact that 99% of the public couldn't explain icing and as such, color men are part analysts and part educator. Frankly, for years, Mike Milbury used to irritate me. All he wanted to do is argue and he would cut off anyone else that didn't agree with him. Then he came to Versus (now NBC Sports) he did that for one or two weeks and then stopped. I suppose Jones got tired of it. I like that he'll bluntly speak his mind but I want the other commentator to be able to put in their side as well.
