the "color" commentator which allowed making comments instead of talking about the action. Then the second color commentator so they could both add their opinion. But the worst was the person on the field who couldn't add any more useless info so that person asked inane questions. With 3 or 4 people now, the game has totally been secondary as the talking mouths have the camera on themselves and they miss showing the now less important field action.
