Worst Sports Coverage This Year (if not ever)

Kentucky Derby, May 3rd, 2008.

NBC is covering the Run for the Roses. This is not the first year they've covered the event; they should know what they are doing, right?

So far, after fifty minutes, they have yet to talk about any of the $#&! horses. They have yet to talk to any trainers. They've spent about thirty seconds on a fluff piece about jockeys.

They've interviewed Hugh Hefner and asked about his hotel accommodations. They've talked to Terrell Owens about how things are going with the Dallas Cowboys, and right now they're talking to some guy from the New York Giants. NBC has spent more time talking about football than about the Kentucky Derby.

What the intercourse is up with that?

Wait... wait... Bob Costas will be on in ten minutes. Maybe they'll talk about the freakin' horses before the race actually starts. One can only hope.

Taking a page from ABC News' playbook on how to cover the issues, I guess.
