Olympic fever

The Olympics are in full swing, which means I'm getting really worked up about obscure sports, feeling extremely patriotic, and spending 50% of my viewing time getting annoyed at the TV anchors. I won't even go into the Bob Costas situation, except to say that it is truly time for someone else to sit behind that desk. Now, onto the rest of them: Stop traveling so many awesome places, Mary Carillo. "Cat fight"?, Dan Patrick? That's how you choose to frame your interview with three female snowboarders? Really? And, finally, Cris Collinsworth: Doesn't your adorable wife Amy Poehler miss you?

We, too, are caught up in Olympic Fever, but have a few complaints as well. From the trivial (lose that stupid fake fireplace on the set) to the important (start the prime time coverage on the West Coast at 7 instead of 8 so we can go to bed knowing the results instead of having to record the last hour!!) An awful lot of us work very hard, get up very early and hit the sack by 10 or 10:30. Give us a break!
