10.87 SECONDS

So we're watching the Olympics last night, as Mrs. Ref is want to do lately. Bob Costas was doing his thing between events, "Now we'll go out to the pool and see . . ." or "Now we're going over to the indoor stadium for the gymnastics final."

One of these times he actually said, "Now let's take you over to the track for our uninterrupted coverage of the premier event in track and field, the men's 100 meter sprint."

Okay, I may not have quoted verbatim, but the point was, he DID say "uninterrupted coverage." THE RACE LASTED 10.87 SECONDS!!! Was there any way that NBC could have actually interrupted that?

C'mon Bob, you're supposed to be a professional.
