| The drunk Cubs fans are cheering for AJ. They think he's actually Kerry Wood. | |

They cut up the footage, figure out which storylines to emphasize, and serve it up to the housefraus exactly like they'd put together a two-week reality show.
I've been mostly been watching illicit streams of the BBC coverage and it's night and day how much better it is. Entirely because they cover it like a sporting event rather than celebrity-driven entertainment. | |

It's about the shot of Michael Phelps' mother, not the actual race. It's about the ultimate zoom-in during the medal ceremony. It's about building The Shire of a green hill and retarded-looking tree for Paul McCartney to sing upon during opening ceremony. | |
