This is 100% the right thing to call this out. Commentators put a lot of work in. I drove 14,000 miles last year, you don't just turn up and speak into a mic.

The highs of commentary last summer seem to have been replaced by trudging through the snow to mundane temp jobs in offices, standing on packed trains and waiting for 2025 season. I'm not a celebrity but get me out of here...
