I'm with you on this. It is annoying to have some inane comments floating over the top of an event of which one can form one's own opinion. Informative comments are OK. However, our family keeps a book on inane comments made during these sort of events. My favourite was said by an Australian commentator a number of years ago:"He dove through the water like butter through cheese"...(?) At least it keeps it amusing
