Gold medal quotes

From Dwight Perry’s Sideline Chatter in The Seattle Times:

Andrew Marchand of the New York Post, to Fox Sports Net, on NBC’s Olympic telecasts: “It’s more of a TV show than an athletics sporting event. They might as well call it ‘Will and Greece.’ ”

Jeff Gordon of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, sounding like a man with an Olympic-dependency habit: “Was anybody else up at 5:50 a.m. Tuesday to watch Korea play China in mixed-doubles badminton on MSNBC?”

Ken of newmexiken.com, on the vagaries of trying to surf among NBC’s six Olympic channels: “NewMexiKen thought he’d tuned in to Cinemax by mistake, but it was just coverage of women’s Olympic beach volleyball.”
