I don't mind them not over calling the play. Some commentators call the game on TV like they're on the radio, which can spoil it as well. Somewhere inbetween the two is the ideal starting and finishing point.
It's about as rare as an Australian comedian who uses actual humour.
Mainly because he takes it too far. He'll launch into full hyperbole mode for a piece of play that simply doesn't warrant the description. He does it all the time. And he's such an insufferable knob with it too.
I seem to remember Rex at least getting genuinely excited when the game was genuinely exciting or it was due to the quality of a particular piece of play. This idiot calls a regulation kick, mark or goal like it's something we've never seen before. He over sells the action to ridiculous levels...
I can recall him being pumped up by the stooges in the Fox Footy studio before a game as 'the best in the business'. I thought I must have been dreaming or I'd wandered into some bizarre modern day version of the Twilight Zone. Either that or they've changed the definition of best.
