Who told Rowdy Gaines that he coudl do comentary? I'm watching Duel inthe Pool, I thinl that it has been really terrible coverage! I almost want to say, "Who cares?" The coverage is so hit-and-miss. I couldn't believe the silly comments about the women's IM relay that just finished. they completely threw any excitment by being so boring and using such terrible trite saying. this is why swimming is so boring on TV.
I thought the short little clips of races they didn't cover were nonsense. The guy doing the interviews is better than the desk comentators. He at least seems interested unlike the guy with Rowdy.
Does anyone think that any of the swims seem to matter? Maybe it is too close to worlds but this should have been more exciting. Why didn't the excitement from poolside translate oer the TV?
I was so bored watching this meet and I was no annoyed that this was on and yet, none of the networks could have put some Worlds coverage. The Fox network could have done an hour coverage on last Saturday and Sunday just to highlight the great races. I really don't want to pay the extra money to watch Worlds on Fox College Sports. Of course, I might have to in the future to get some exciting swimming coverage. I basically only watch the Duel to support the sport. They should pass the mic over to Janet Evans or somebody.
