I bet he's just pissed that drinking and wife beating didn't make the Olympics this year..

No, they always lose those to the Italians.

It is a comedian doing a voice over.

Ya' think?

That made me laugh, and I think it brought out my inner Irish. Would love to see more sports announced like that.

The classic that comes to mind (excuse me for showing my age) was Andy Griffith's "What it was, Was football" It was part of his standup act and the feature cut on a very popular comedy album.... which essentially got him the TV gig.

 

[Ducati]

Was that real? Yes, I saw it wit me own bleed'n oyes...

Reminds me of the commentary during the final dog judging in the "Best in Show" movie.

CBS golf announcer, David Faraday, comes close.... today he said the wind was blowing so hard the golfer was in danger of being injured by his PANTS!

It's obviously a spoof and really funny.

Sadly, the IOC didn't laugh and started going after the sites hosting the video. It's been taken down on most of them, but still can be seen on some.

HERE is his commentary on the IOC taking the videos down.

Warning: He's not happy and the language reflects it.
