in·suf·fer·a·ble: having or showing unbearable arrogance or conceit. "an insufferable bully"
My favorite part of the U.S. / Turkey match was when he droned on for three days in 10 minutes about subbing in Hancock for her serves and Paul was clearly tuning him out and said the same thing.
No. Wait. It was when he insisted Karch call for a time out and Paul says ((gently)) “look at the scoreboard the U.S. is out of timeouts.”
There’s others but those were the best. The dude just oozes douchey-jock-alpha-male-insecurity.

The dude just oozes douchey-jock-alpha-male-insecurity. So I think when he's just analyzing the action, he's fine. My problem with him is that he thinks he's much funnier than he actually is, and I have to roll my eyes several times a set because of it. He just needs to stop trying so hard. Not everyone is funny, and that's okay.

She's trash. I haven't watched a single NBC stream. The world stream commentators are a revolving door, some good, some trash, but I prefer them ALL to Barnett. Next.

I was only able to tune in for the first set, but it really threw me off when he described the Turkish team as "schizophrenic." I thought it was pretty inappropriate.

I actually stopped watching the rebroadcast of the China win because Barnett was so annoying. Not even Sunderland could keep me around. It annoys me to no end to know that the there's a very good option already in Tokyo in Amy Gant, and they aren't using her.

Maria Taylor is there too I guess that's true, though it's hard to imagine her doing commentary when she's one of the main studio hosts.

I don’t really have an issue with the commentary. He gets a little annoying but I’ve heard worse. My main issues are the mf ads. Like please, there are timeouts for a reason. Never thought I would actually long for the technical timeouts but if we’re going to televise these games I honestly think we need them. Or transition to like one TO at 12.

The ads are clearly automated to run on some random timer to efff up our lives.
