I think you just hit the nail on the head. Clearly those of us that play the game perceive the color commentators in a very different light. However, as a TV producer you must consider the broader audience and that is where Norman Chad adds considerable value in making them comfortable with the game.
Personally I like Chad. His stories are as ridiculous as mine.
