I just sent off a quick e-mail to NBC -- BEGGING them to show MORE sports action, rather than a bunch of athlete sob-stories and "fluff" pieces about the Olympic village, I know it won't make a difference, but after last night's inane CHAT-FEST with Katie I had to do something ! GRRRR ! It's soooo hard to be a sports-lover and watch 5-minutes of sports followed by yet another endless hour of that type of crap
Well, I guess this will get me flamed, since I've seen absolutely no one here saying this, but -- within reason -- I like a lot of those athlete profiles. It does put a face on an otherwise anonymous athlete. IMHO. I also don't understand why everyone blames NBC for it. ABC is the one who perfected the technique years ago.
On a more convivial note, for those who talked about the Bush phone call, here's a brief blurb callisto posted: link to phone call article
