Also, when I liosten to commentators during swimmign programs, I'm left very unimpressed. Sometimes how they explain what is going on is mind-boggling or even wrong.
I heard this one commentator at the SCM World Champs and he was a Nascar commentator. I am sure that Melvin Stewart or Dara Torres would have commentated with Rowdy Gaines. He seems to commentate every big meet. But hey, he is the best expert and the man does his research and chats with everyone. But please, the man is too big to commentate on the EISL championships. I would have loved to see a time when swimming was on more than football and basketball. But, swimming coverage is starting to improve and Amanda Beard and Phelps are gradually getting bigger celebrity profiles. 12 years ago, a Olympic champion's DUI wouldn't have been the top story on the Today show or GMA. Plus, Melvin Stewart or Mike Barrowman wouldn't have been asked to be a judge on the Miss USA pageant. SummeR saunders wouldn't be considered the hottest athlete on an ESPN poll.
