OK, everyone in the room who's gonna watch these Olympics, raise your hands. One, two, three, four, five, six...uh-huh. That's pretty much what I thought.

I do not know who this Tom Knott is(any relation to Don?), but he's smack dab on target with regard to Ms. Couric and Mr. Costas.

I worked with Mr. Costas one evening taping a large awards show. He was positively unctuous.

Ciao, bambini!

Katie? She is the reason I haven't watched "The Today Show" for years and years. Yeah, as if I was missing something anyway.

Boy, you can say that again! Thanks for the new word of the day.

In some ways the Winter Olympics are better than the Summer Games. But they both suffer from the human interest crap that the networks insist on piling in. Just show me the events. I don't care that someone's great grandma died three weeks before they qualified for the Olympics. I care if they are any good against the rest of the world.

No relation to Don. He's basically the Washington Times version of Tony Kornheiser.

Guilty. I recently got an HDTV and will watch the most inane programming if it's broadcast in HDTV.

So I will probably watch at least some of the olympics, unless DiscoveryHD has that special on, "The life of pigeons of New York City".

I'm going to watch the hockey games when I can.

I couldn't care less about the rest of it though.

Costas isn't that bad. He isn't nearly as bad as say Theismann, Patrick and Maguire or Dan Fouts....
