It’s a free kick and one hasn’t been made since 1976 and it’s from 57 yards so at least some enthusiasm is warranted. And it’s not just this, it’s every game he calls.

While I don't disagree with your premise, I will say 57 yards doesn't mean what it used to. Haven't there been multiple 60+ yard FGs made this season alone? The free kick aspect was lost, and the commentators certainly needed to emphasize that more, but 57 yards just isn't it anymore.
I agree that distance isn’t a huge deal anymore on a normal FG. But this was the first free kick made in nearly a half century and it was from a considerable distance
