so, taking into account it was NBC, I checked it out. Rogers often has
Iron man-world cup tri coverage, which is pretty decent. But after
about half an hour of NBC, I barely saw any coverage of the race
itself. Instead I saw:A profile of one of the athletes, firefighter and his braindead bimbo
wife, talking about their WEDDING. And various interviews with her
hairstylist friends in the salon on Long Island. It was like they were
trying to show us how cute they all were, but instead they were just
embarrassingly dumb and ridiculous, talking about a sport they totally
knew NOTHING about. They all talked like the woman on Seinfeld who had
the ugly baby.- more athlete profiles about overcoming the odds, ie handicaps,
diseases, etc.-lots of bizarre new age music
-shots of various cyclist's legs as they pedal. OR their heads. I
think I saw a whole body maybe twice in an hour.-disco soundtrack
-overwrought narration.
I think for NBC, this is 'coverage'. I wasn't really surprised. Oy.
Was Amy Fisher in the salon?
LOL no, but there was a young woman who looked very much like her.
I also found out later that the overwrought narrator was: AL TRAUTWIG!
I knew his voice was familiar.
