You told like it was (even with 3 hour delay). nice job Ron.
Guess What's NBC broadcasting for prime time today? Multiple choice
a) beach volleyball
b) beach volleyball
c) beach volleyball
Tim Daggett slated to replace Bob Costas in 2012 for his "crazy" uninformative not play-by-play action.
Meanwhile, the synchro diving and swimming commentators have been rebuked for providing viewers information about all competitors and performance.
They were told to model themselves after that crazy Tim Dagett who knows how to use the word crazy. From now on, NBC says all commentators must use the adjective crazy before and after ever event. If any other adjective is used they will be severely disciplined.
P.S. Who is the synchro diving commentator. How did NBC manage to pick up a star commentator. I guess there's always a good apple in the rotten bunch of NBC commentators.
