Thank god for them internets.
Well, there are a few people who don't want anyone else to learn what they themselves at one point did not know and had to learn from someone/some source.
But, I will say, there is a debate as to what will make for better overall ratings - commentator's like Esfandari (solid but not spectular analysis, but much easier for casual viewers to understand/follow) or someone like Busquet (Spot-on analysis that's quite insightful, but much harder for a casual viewer to understand).
There's a reason John Madden was the highest salaried announcer. If analysis only was what matter, Ron Jaworski would be the most sought after guy and Troy Aikman would have been demoted to high school football a long time ago.
