NBC’s Sucked The Fun

I have to post this…I would probably make this into a T-Shirt slogan as well, if it was shorter…

Norman Chad at The Chronicle has put it so rightly about why NBC’s coverage of the Olympics sucks: “Ebersol, the NBC Sports chairman, uses a simple, cynical formula to broadcast the Olympics:

– 1. It’s all about America.

– 2. It’s all about overcoming adversity.

– 3. It’s all about keeping us waiting to watch what we want to watch.

When we cover war on TV, we’re the good guys, and the other folks are the bad guys. When we cover the Olympics, we’re the only guys; the rest of the world is cast as extras.”

Brilliant….
