Bob Costas is an Idiot

[whyiron]

Tivo is searching and gathering for me all of the Track and Field and Swimming Olympic Trials coverage. I don't like the way they cover the events, there is lots of me shouting at the TV, and Costas is the worst offender. Thankfully, he wasn't working today, thankfully also, his and my sports don't often overlap, but occasionally, at marquee events

Some neat and somewhat-freaky underwater pics. Some amazing shoulders, boys and girls alike.

Also, wow.

Damn

Swimmers are beautiful creatures. And the photography nowdays is breathtaking.

So you talk back to the TV coverage too, eh? lol I don't know why networks feel that there must be constant talking through everything. Why can't they just be quiet for some of the time? Odds are good when you feel the need to fill time, you will say something idiotic.

We've just started watching the Fox soccer channel at our house and I love the muted commentary from the announcers. There's also no annoying background music in the stadium (I would love to know what the fans are singing & chanting), no commercials, and no cheesy graphics crawling across the screen with annoying sound effects (I mean, the crap they put up on the screen during football season here--warring robots,etc., with exploding noises--is STUPID). The most annoying thing is me mimicking the Scottish guy's accent, which for some reason I find hilarious.

I'm so upset that I had to miss the swimming trials last night. I'm sure I can find something on youtube.

Sorry to hear about the rehab pain. Take it like you would any work out, a good beer for better recovery. Or chocolate milk, if that's your thing.
