Bored and out of work, British sports commentators post hilarious videos of everyday lifeBritish sports commentators are among those who have suddenly found themselves out of a job as a result of the coronavirus outbreak. No sporting events, no work.
But luckily for their fans on social media, some have deployed their broadcasting skills to everyday events that may seem mundane in less capable hands. Things like feeding the dogs or crossing the street or even grocery shopping are all potential targets for bored broadcasters.
Andrew Cotter, whose velvety voice will be recognizable to fans of Wimbledon and other big sporting events, on Friday was lighting up social media with video of his Labrador dogs Olive and Mabel. The clip, viewed over 5 million times, shows Olive devouring her food focused and relentless, tasting absolutely nothing more quickly than Mabel, who seemed to have a problem with her bowl and presumably didnt know it was a race anyway.

I started following EPL a few years ago and the level of announcing is as good as the matches.
