My suspicions were confirmed when he got his butt kicked yesterday and instead of taking it like a man, he acted like a spoiled little brat. The interviewer asked him how dropping his coach a few months ago contributed to him losing, a completely legitimate question, but he just dismissed and walked away, like he's above being questioned. |

It sounds like he's a prick. (Did I just say that word?)

A few days ago, you were knocking the broadcast team for denigrating Spitz when they said "Move over Mark Spitz." Now you are saying that his records are mostly meaningless. You started this thread saying that track and field has gone downhill and now have migrated over to some sort of race-based attack on swimming. Didnt you ever take a critical writing class? Or a basic writing class? Try 1-2-2 paragraphs. They may suit you more and are easy to compose.

The two color commentators for NBC for track (Bolen I think, and some other guy) have been ripping the American team up and down, and if the sideline reporter asks a question 5% as tough as the things that Bolden is saying, then people get their panties in a wad). I didn't see the Spearmon interview, but if I were the person I would say, "When's the last time you stepped on the line to disqualify yourself? Why did you lose concentration?" The CEO in charge of the USA debacle is the person I want to see questioned. |

It also bothered me that so much attention was paid to Wariner's "failure" than to focusing on the great race ran by his US team-mate than won the race. Very unprofessional.

i.e. Carl Lewis say gets beat by John Drummond. Doesn't mean John Drummond is the story. They did speak to the winner, and he was even more arrogant than Wariner. You guys probably wonder why the newspaper doesn't have more good news than bad news. |

I for one have no problem at all with a reporter asking tough questions, that's his job. Don't you ever get sick of pointless interviews like "So, how do you feel"? Tyson Gay has stood on that same sideline with that same reporter all week and answered tough questions like a grown up. |
