Ehhhh... At first they're cool, but by season 5 of my third dynasty I've seen the 'Enter Sandman'less VT runout enough times, and they never say anything interesting in the pregame anyway. For the majority of the games audience who doesn't play as many games as most of us here it's probably still a cool thing, but like I said the 100th time I'd just as soon get to the game a little faster.
