Dissing Jen Rhines? Running royalty you young'ins.
I don’t care if it’s Joan Benoit or Emil Zátopek, the constant chuckling was hard to take.
That's a fair complaint if it's an NBC broadcast, but if it's a small production with a small fee I don't mind people trying it and seeing if they could be good -- I actually think Rhines could develop into a good track announcer with practice. She knows what the splits mean, has historic knowledge, and generally seems interested in doing it/being there. It just takes practice.

Fair enough, I don’t disagree with that and was happy to see the event for $6. I’m just inclined to be critical because I’m filled with hate, which stems from deep seeded insecurities.
