We Take Sports Seriously. But Not Ourselves.   

leadpack1.jpgYesterday morning, during WNBC’s coverage of the New York City Marathon, all seemed right in the world of long-distance running. A former champion won the women’s race, and the men’s pack was led by a Kenyan.

Then, NBC Sports’ Al Trautwig made this jaw-dropping observation:

“The lead men’s pack is starting to look like an NBA franchise.”

The comment was followed by a period of awkward silence over-the-air. 

Who ever thought watching people run on TV could be this entertaining?
