Gymnastics: Is it possible for Tim Daggett to STFU?

Question

This annoying human just cannot keep his mouth shut.

Now if i'm gonna chill with my girlfriend & watch this.

It would be nice to know what the h**l these atheletes are doing.

You know tell us a bit about the sport, the scoring, the names of the moves. how the athletes are approaching the moves.

The difficulty etc..

Don't tell me vagueries about their performances, issues, & histories. Call the event that's going on right in front of you.

& do it without the rah rah's

It's not like people watch these events regularly.

More like once every 4 years ..HELLO...

Instead i feel like i'm at a diner trying to eat & there's some yenta & her feminine guy friend with an annoying screech of a voice talking.

Subsequentally making me want to lose my lunch.

Answer 1

not only that but can they put the camera on someone else other than the "best". what about the guys who aren't from china???

Answer 2

Trinity, if you actually paid attention to the men's team final's, you'd realized that once China was undoubtly ahead, the screen time pretty much went purely to US, with some Japan and a tad of Germany when they had a small chance to bronze at the end. Same with the women's finals, the only reason China got screen time is cause US was in competition with China until the end. Romania, russia and the rest got NOTHING.

Answer 3

SRSLY. Ugh. I'm watching them right now and I agree with you completely.

If you live on the West Coast, CBC (The Canadian network) is much better about this.

Answer 4

Tim Daggett gets on my last nerve.

True, he IS an Olympic Gold Medalist, but why MUST he spout off such useless trivia?  I agree ... I'd rather hear an objective calling of the event.  He's not an announcer, or even a "color commentator" ... he's a critic.

Tim Daggett is almost as annoying covering gymnastics as d**k Button is on figure-skating.  Notice ... I said "almost"!!!

Answer 5

haha...good vent.

Answer 6

I really don't think it's possible!! I just want to jump through the TV and punch him! I'll turn him straight again! He criticizes the MALE gymnasts all the time! And he so freakin' annoying! Who does he think he is? The Gymnastic God? I tell you man! He has put me in a bad mood! "Here is what this gymnast is going to do" and then he talks about himself all the time! I mean do we need you to tell us what he's going to do? UGH! and he's always like "OOOO" or "WOW!" STFU!

EDIT: "That is a VERY big mistake!"

Answer 7

Seriously!!! Why haven't they fired these people and hired people who know what the **** they are doing already!!!

Answer 8

i said that earlier in another question and got a thumbs down. but seriously he needs to stfu. any time he opens his mouth somebody messes up

Answer 9

I don't have an answer to this, but I do agree.  It's not like he is in such good shape to do these skills!  I know he is a former gymnast but please.  Even when he is watching the women he cannot shut up!  

I think he gives off bad karma!
