Commentators...anyone else loving the random comments of the olympics?

I think I am loving the Olympic commentators more and more as these games go on. Mainly because I think they forget they are on mic and they seem to be tired and familiar with the crowd.
Darrel and I enjoy the sporting events but really are enjoying commentating on the commentating.
For example, a commentator just stopped finishing his sentence in the middle of a thought leaving us the viewer to wonder "what the end of that thought was". Or when the commentator clearly bragged that he had already run the marathon route that the current runners were running. Or when they clearly use dramatic words when a mistake is made. Things like "oh that was an utter travesty." or when an amazing performance is made: "wow he is magical"
Or we felt odd as we listened to the commentators comment on the legs of a male gymnast as being like two pillars of cement. Why did we need to know that?
Is it just me that is enjoying the commentating? Please share.
