This came through not just in interviews, but even in your play-by-play announcing of races. <br /><br />The comments you would make, mostly extemporaneous almost always made sense and were interesting. On the networks, you'd get people who either had a broadcasting background but knew nothing about swimming (see Dan Hicks) or you'd get someone who knew something about swimming, but mostly played the role of cheerleader (Rowdy). Watching NBC or ESPN, I would often ask myself, "why doesn't he mention this?" or "is he even looking at the race?"<br /><br />From you I actually would learn something, and you never said stuff that was directly contradicted by what was happening on screen. And you made it sound easy, even though I know that it is not. Wherever you end up, I think you have a great future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4418255805011610396.post-14400869386058641812009-07-10T07:14:46.259-07:002009-07-10T07:14:46.259-07:00Thom-

I found an interview with Peirsol after the BK. Terrible questions. Nothing about what he has been focusing on this season, what stood out (good or bad) about his race., his disgusting 2nd 50 and what that means for the 200? Nothing, a big fat post-GM- -flowswimming goose egg. You have certainly spoiled us informed consers of swimming, hurry it up already. -coacherikcoacherikhttp://www.heartlandaquatics.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4418255805011610396.post-79008494833641585022009-07-09T18:45:29.783-07:002009-07-09T18:45:29.783-07:00Garrett - as I'm sure you've read, you'...Garrett - as I'm sure you've read, you've got a huge following and we can't wait for you to get set up with your next endevour..
