Even Tom Shales of the WashPost gets it right:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A48735-2002Feb8.html

"..Couric and Costas managed to mangle what should have been one of the most moving highlights of last night's pageantry. The tattered and torn flag found in the ruins of the World Trade Center after its destruction by terrorists was carried into the stadium by New York firefighters and police officers. An awesome silence came over the crowd -- but not over the blabbery and jabbery Couric and Costas."

This is also from the Washington Post

Katie Couric, wearing a goofily oversized red headband to keep her precious cranium safe from the cold, co-hosted the opening ceremonies coverage with NBC Sports superstar Bob Costas.
