You guys are all fukcing losers. Barnett actually has personality and is fun to listen to. So many people whine and complain about how announcers talk down to the viewer: “oh volleyball is best 3 of 5 sets to 25, win by two; and remember the 5th set is only to 15.” Every loser on this website is always complaining about how the sport doesn’t get enough media coverage, but you bitch and moan about having two Olympic volleyball players with actual opinions and real banter.
Give me a break.

I was just glad he was digging into Sunderland tonight when Sunderland wouldn't stop (wrongly) complaining about that no-call at the end of the 2nd set.

I prefer Barnett to the international broadcasters who basically give a play by play without any actual insight. Barnett isn’t perfect but I prefer him over some of the announcers for sure I like to watch the matches live stream cause they don’t break for commercial on breaks but I prefer Sunderland and Barnett they know volleyball and are invested in the outcomes of the matches for the USA.

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. that's actually funny, my daughter asked me if Turkey was a good team and I said the same thing. THen we heard him say it

as a Long Beach fan, I have to love teh repeated references to Long Beach. LB & UCLA are obviously getting a lot of references for obvious reasons with this team.
on the other hand, I have to wonder for the general for the general Olympic viewing public viewer (outside of SoCal) that they are listening and thinking to themselves, huh, is that a college or something?!
the main thing I think is lacking from these two announcers is too much 'happy or glory days' references to their careers and the past. Once is enough, and then leave it alone, I doubt it's of any interest to the general public. the insight into players hobbies and their person is good, more of that and enough with the 80s references - or if so at least show a short vid of a long sleeve shirt player lollipoping a serve
and maybe paint a smile on Speraw's face with a telestrator, I mean if he's gonna remove TJ over 'expression' he could also work on his own, those two combined are the dour couple extradanaire. TJ seemed to shred that for the most part his junior and senior years, but old labels are hard to shake so anytime he now shows frustration, the rep roars it's ugly head

The British announcer adds almost nothing to the feed. Sometimes just repeats the names (and sometimes the wrong one, scoring points on the beach matches.) Sunderland and Barnett at least have good understanding of the game.
But who kept doing the “woof woof” greetings to the dogs of the family viewing parties during, I think, the last Slaes beach match? That was flat out weird.

I really hope the producers made him do that.
