I think I'd make a great color commentator for sports broadcasting. Simply because I would be the Simon Cowell of televised sports. Does he even have credentials, except for having heard people sing before? And being snarky to everyone? I've watched sports, and I can do snarky with the best of them. For instance, my reaction to the Italian ice dancers, who hadn't been speaking since their fall yesterday, as they cried and kissed each other at the conclusion of their final performance where all seemed to be forgiven?
"Yawn. I so don't care about you."
That's what you get for being a drama queen and holding a grudge at the OLYMPICS, for Christ's sake. And while I said that out loud in my room to no one, I feel like that should have been heard. Not even figure skating's ultimate color man, Dick Button, had anything to say about their dramatics taking a "I guess I'm supposed to forgive them for being jackasses now" turn.
Hey, how about this: if NASCAR's fastest-growing spectator group is women, then shouldn't there be a gal up in the booth? Someone to shout "Kill Tony Stewart!" when he pulls bastard moves like at the Datona 500? (INTENTIONALLY try to take out a guy, as good as admit it, and get no real, substantive punishment? Then try to push another guy around and swerve out when he pushes back, to make it look all dramatic so he gets the penalty? WTF???) I could totally fill that role.
And then I'd get to meet Kyle Busch for sure... ;-)
