NBC'S COVERAGE IS HORRIBLE AT BEST... DO THEY COVER THE NEXT OLYMPICS?

Who are some of these reporters NBC has covering the Olympics? Today I saw the U.S. men lose the 400-meter relay, and afterwards they were interviewed by some schlepp actually asked them, "Are you disappointed that you didn't win the gold?"

What kind of moron asks that question? Of course they are disappointed. They were the favorites going in and they lost do to an error that could have been prevented. Something within their control. The reporter also was probing to see who might take the blame for the loss. Is he really going to get a great story out of this? It would be better if he provided some encouragement and congratulated them on their silver. This reporter was just awkward and stupid in his questioning. I thought Maurice Greene was going to pop at the end.

Also my friend told me about another reporter commenting during the individual events, which was after the Paul Hamm controversy, when a Korean gymnast made an error on the high-bar and he said, "Well... Paul Hamm wouldn't have made such as error..."

Idiot. Do not say off-the-cuff remarks that are poor reflections of U.S. nationalism and character. Paul Hamm does not need you, buddy, to defend himself.

As stated above, I do believe that the most common stupid question is, "Are you disappointed you didn't win the gold?" I heard this one a few times and it seems many of the NBC reporters believe this is "the" question of the Olympics and that some profound statement will be prodded out of athletes due to its probing nature.
