I think if you held a drinking game with these terms used by the commentators, you would be drunk in 2 minutes:

Can’t tell you what a turn-off those up close and personal presentations are.

A man wants to sit down and watch the sport. He wants them to all line up equally without anything else mattering, and see them compete.
When they get back to that again, some men may start watching again.
