Well of course it was. There is literally - famously - nothing interesting about the man. He was a figure of fun for years, constantly mocked for his tedious commentary where he thought that reeling off statistics in a nasal whine was an acceptable substitute for saying something - anything - insightful.

And then - pretty much overnight it seemed - he went from laughing stock to national treasure. It was weird.
