I watched REAL SPORTS on HBO last night.

Bryant Gumbel had a last-word kind of sign-off last night...

In it, he hinted that the Winter Olympics were crap and just a vehicle to boost the February TV ratings....he also alluded to the the number of black athletes entered in the Games were comparable to the number of blacks at a GOP convention.


At first I couldn't beleive that someone would blatantly critique the work that these people do just to get to the Games...

I love the stories of the cross country skiers from the Middle East, Jamaican bobsledders and all the other oddball participants.

It took me a minute to figure out that some outspoken nitwit can't help but
lash out because he couldn't pack his bags for an Italian vacation on the company's dime.


Of course he'll end up with footage about some athlete that competed in the Games later on....you know.....for his show. Ratings being as the are!
