We've not discussed anything The Office related in a while have we? No? Good because I want to share something but not be repetitive (which is a bad habit I have, along with with drinking only half a bottle of water).
So as great as Ricky Gervais is, the real genius for my money is Stephen Merchant; you may know him best as Ricky's muppet-faced agent on Extras. He is also the co-creator of and a writer for The Office, and The Ricky Gervais Show. Not a bad resume at all.
Recently he's lent his talents to an Alec Christie show called No Skillz in which merchant plays a regional soccer radio commentator. The show hasn't landed on US shores yet but you can watch the pilot in 3 parts at No SkillzComedy.com. Check the clip below to catch Merchant's best bit from the commentators booth.

1. Blasphemy!
2. Merchant was pretty funny, but Partridge is the king of the fake sportscasters.
