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?
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.
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

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

Why? Because they're "Americanized"? That went out with Vietnam.
I want to know. 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.'
His English is bad. Why not just use Des? She's funny, much more accomplished than him in the marathon.

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.
