Your consideration in answering the direct question itself, is appreciated. Thank you. Tim - The last half with Jeanette Lee, was much "tamer" than the semis. I agree that giving some insight from the commentator(s) is good. However, doing everything but jumping into the match to play and the over-emotion of any commentator, is a bit much.
