I dunno, that just sounds like kids who absolutely lived and breathed this stuff but then turned it into a career and didn't lose that passion. Doesn't bother me in the least (even if I often dgaf about whatever they're saying)

I phrased poorly...it was pretty unique that they had a specific sponsor with an actual short ad leading into the segment in the last several years. I can't think of that happening in any other sport broadcast off the top of my head and I suspect that was pretty lucrative compared to a single generic "brought to you by Huawei" (though that's repeated like 4 times in a broadcast)
