The snotty smarm factor of Bob Costas alone keeps the mute button busy.
‘”They claimed that since no boxers from the USA were still in the running, they didn’t want to stay anyway.”’
How parochial and narrowminded of NBC.
NBC coverage of the event was the worst I have ever seen. The men that did it well are gone.
The judging for the boxing was horrendous.
I saw Brazil and Thailand get screwed yesterday.
The Brazilian would have won if the ref didn’t deduct two points for holding or something. The best part was the Brazilian Trainer motioning to the Japanese boxer to make sure that he thanked the ref.
The Thai kid got rousing support from the audience because they knew he won.
I miss Howard Cosell . . . believe it or not.
The snotty smarm factor of Bob Costas alone keeps the mute button busy.
Much of their inane commentary aggravates viewers as well.
Too bad most media types do not understand STFU.
Now, there you go, an example of Romney not being right about these Olympics. Asking NBC to leave is always a good move.
At least in Rio it is in our Eastern Time Zone, so we should be able to see more stuff live in Prime Time, of course NBC might still manage to screw it up.
