NBC's Opening Night Coverage Is More Limp Than Olympic, by Tom Shales, Sat. Feb. 9, 2002; Page C01.
A scathing article about the coverage of the opening ceremonies from the
Washington Post. Worth clicking on link to read. Some quotes:
"Couric and Costas managed to mangle what should have been one of the most moving highlights of last night's pageantry. "
"An awesome silence came over the crowd -- but not over the blabbery and jabbery Couric and Costas."
"Costas and Couric yakked away from their little perch"
Another gem from Li'l Katie: "Did you know that Argentina has produced more Miss Universes than any other country?"
I hope Katie Colic and Bob Costas read the cricism of their coverage last night. It was really pathetic.
Thanks for posting that Post comment. So true. They are both clymers. I watched the opening ceremonies in spite of them.
