I miss Jim McKay ( real name McManus ).His adopted son heads CBS.

[k9henrydog]

I had never hear that! thanks for the info.......he was a great one. best wishes

[HattieLovesCattie]

Go to google and type in Jim McKay and Sean McManus.

[k9henrydog]

WOW!! Perhaps there is hope for improved skating coverage in time..........

[HattieLovesCattie]

Well,Sean is head of CBS but NBC has the rights to the games in Vanouver,BC etc.Even tho skating ratings are down in general,it still will get good ratings next Feb.

I am so sick of Dick Button's continual babbling. He's gotta give it up!

[k9henrydog]

OH no,no no....no, dear!! We are ALL skating (here in America) because of Dick Button's life, skating, and TV efforts! He is one of a few who bring intelligence and artistic sensibility to his commentary. Skating can, and should be, more than a sport, but 9-13 year olds can't even fathom what 'artistic expression' might be! Dick showed us the way for 60 years, but the ship has certainly floundered, and we have no idea what direction we are headed now. best wishes

[blondie81566]

True...he was a legend in his time. I would rather watch him skate...lol, than listen to him.

[k9henrydog]

you young whippersnappers!!!! what am i going to do with you!! If you were here, I would throw my skate guard at you!!! (lovingly) Holy katsenjammer!!! lol best wishes...

[blondie81566]

HAHAHAHAHA! I am 42 and skated competetively as a kid. Dorothy was my inspiration. I am glad we have other commentators. What I don't like is the new scoring system. My favorite skater, now, is Stephane Lambiel.

Thanks! Dorothy is brave.
