Is the race so slow because they know the course doesn’t allow super fast times?

How about that ABC News Relay , so inspiring ;-)
I want to see similar coverage of an NFL game today in which they take a break from showing us the action on the field to give us an interview of some dude who won his company’s flag football game.

To all of the Rojo haters out there upset I'm complaining, please answer this. If you are the producer, why wouldn't you at least use Bernard Lagat (who did the broadcast a few years ago) or Meb or Des instead of Barrios?

Am I the only one who doesn't think his English is that bad? I don't think his commentary s amazing, but no one else's is either. People trying to cover their xenophobia with "arguments" are the worst. Just say you don't like accents and call it a day.
His English is bad. Why not just use Des? She's funny, much more accomplished than him in the marathon.
I actually feel bad for Barrios. However, Des is not good
There are any number of options out there. My guess is Dick Beardsley was free this weekend and he has worked with Carrie Tollefson before. Someone mentioned Rod Dixon is in NYC this weekend.

Does Lewis Johnson have any other question to ask other than "what does it mean to ........." He asks the same BS questions over and over

I don’t really disagree with you, but I don’t like how you’re so consumed by this complaint. Seems like the owner of “the internet’s home of elite distance running” should use their platform better than to rant about this.
Grow up, he's right. That person should not be announcing the NYC Marathon

When all you seek to do is segregate people into groups all you see is division not excellence.

Why doesn't Cheserek have an American Flag next to his name?
Because he has now spent more than half his life tring to become a U.S. citizen. Easy peasy, right?

There aren't a lot of complainers, just a few lemons

It’s days like this when I miss women’s only GOAT Mary Keitany who’d’ve mercilessly ripped apart and scattered this field by now.

Why? Because they're "Americanized"? That went out with Vietnam.

1) Who's decision was it to hire him?Probably people who construct sentences like this:
But now that I see he can his English is so bad that it's extremely slow as he struggles to come up with the word and his accent is so strong, you can't really understand it, I'm IRATE.You absolute fvcking imbecile.
You make a post criticizing someone's English, yet you don't know the difference between 'who's' and 'whose.'

Lets all agree if Ches drops out or loses to an American he can no longer be called King

Has Barrios ever been on any other race broadcast? Can we get his demo tape? What he’s demonstrating in lack of knowledge, he’s matching in lack of enthusiasm. Loved when he referred to Talbi as “the Moroccan guy.” I wish it wasn’t so, but it is.
