Boo!!!!!!!!!!

Terrible decision. Hutchings and Cram are the best announcers in the sport.
Fenton should break his contract and go big time with NBC. He and Chavez will be very influential for decades to come -

Agreed. Really enjoy Hutchings/Cram. -
0/10
no one is fooled -
Hutchings is okay, but I despise Masback. Going to be muting a lot of the distance finals.
-
Best commentators are Stuart Storey and Steve Cram. Fact.
-
Unbelievable. Yet another reason I'll be watching on channels other than NBC.
-
They should just get the guys from soccer like Ray Hudson and Jon Champion to call all the distance finals. THAT would be exciting.
-
Ato Bolden is the worst of them all
-
Liggett and Sherwen are the gold standard,
All others are pretenders.
They broadcast five hours of perfection every day for three and a half weeks. -
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!

Masback is an annoying Nike shill.
-
What I can't wait for is the insane rambling history of all the poor wonderful athletes lives. Each one we got to listen to how they been building churches all their lives. How every family member , including them had cancer and were born without eyes, ears and other body functions. How they give to the poor like Robin Hood, invented cures, travel africken abroad curing the sick and on and on and on! Its gonna be unbearable if there are any athletes left to compete in the events at all.

Your link says that Tom Hammond is still going to be talking at the Olympics!!!
I thought this was finally fixed at the US trials when Tim Hutchings replaced Tom Hammond... and things were much better without Tom Hammond talking.
This is going to be another NBC Tom Hammond Olympic Debacleâ„¢.
Hey you: NBC and Tom Hammond.
Please stop it.
Can 'The Donald' or 'Hilarious Hillary' fix this unfortunate situation in time for the Olympics?
Not a chance in this ongoing Apocalypse process (7 to 111 years…depending on lots of things.) -

Masback is a PC hack, always making excuses for runners of color if they somehow lose to a paleface. The 800 OT final was hilarious with his remarks on Boris Berian's "inexperience" and such after he was run down by Murphy. Berian certainly has more experience than Murphy. If you think otherwise you're as filled with PC blindness as Masback. The number of errors and minsinfo remarks this guy makes is staggering. He must have been brought in to soften any possible drug stories that may pop up during the games.
Who the hell was in those focus groups? Skinny pants SWJ's no doubt. lol Trey Hardee is ...OK for a newbie and Sanya..well, she's vain and self-centered enough to blend in with other TV personalities. Hell, Ralph Boston and Bill Toomey from the old days would be better than this horror show NBC has lined up. -

You are correct sir! -

You ain't kidding. He's horrible. The worst. Hutchings is far too honest and straight-forward for stinky American Networks. -
Mas back is brutal, really NBC, that is the best you can do? Bring back Carol Lewis and Willie Smith too?
-
Nobody cares about distance events: As soon as they show a distance event, my wife (a former D1 varsity tennis player) immediately changes the channel. Ato Boldon, Trey, and Sanya will suit most TV viewers just fine.
