Fall in the summer, plus Olympics talk

This summer in Virginia has been weird. Record highs in June, near record lows right now -- it's like the seasons are starting to flip around. It's been so dry that my tree in my backyard is already shedding its leaves. My yard looks a lot like it did in mid-October last year. Will we have snow in Thanksgiving.

Anyway, I was wondering: Why do the broadcasters for the Olympics on NBC think they're so much better than the athletes competing? Here's to hoping that ABC can win an Olympics contract at some point. While I'm not the biggest fan of that network, I think the ESPN family could deliver better overall coverage.
