Most of the interviews are either boring or offensive, and therefore I'd prefer they just forget them and switch to covering other sports.

I totally agree... I've seen reports that go along the lines of "this is the U.S.'s
worst performance since 1948..." on NBC... I can't remember the sport they were talking about, but really? Unless those reporters can go up there and compete on the level those athletes did to get to the
Olympics, then they should shut their trap.
