In terms of repetitiveness, doing play-by-play for the marathon has to be right up there with doing color commentary for NASCAR, except without the added boon of the entertainment that the periodic crashes provide.
I mean, the marathon has to be about the most representative sport of the Olympic games. It's grueling, a heck of a feat and has that epic feel that should symbolize the keystone event of a spectacle as grand as the Olympics.
But when you come right down to it, the marathon is people jogging at a brisk pace for a couple of hours.
And calling the game can't be much fun.
"They're still running... marching right along... yep... just one foot... in front of the other... always going forward... just picking them up and setting them down... still running... yep..."
