Heh. This is joke commentary, but I think the worst commentary I've ever witnessed was on Vietnamese TV, for any football (soccer) game. Essentially, the commentary consisted of stating exactly what was going on and when either team was driving toward the goal, the announcers would basically say something like, "Good . . . good . . . no good. [Insert team name] has the ball. Good . . . good . . . good . . . [insert team name] now has a point."

On the other hand, they didn't have "color" commentators, or talk about sports esoterica, which was nice.
