Mr. Lampley in commenting on a possible visit by President Bush, in the event of an Iraqi Olympic Soccer Team Gold meddal match:
"paraphrasing"
"In light of already tight security measures being taken by the olympic security detail, it wouldn't be a good idea for President Bush to make a surprise visit to the olympics as it would stretch an already thin security force. And... although the people of Greece have a generally warm disposition towards Americans, continuous polling data shows disdain for President Bush and his policies. The Iraqi soccer team has also been outspoken in the crititism of Bush and his willingness to use them as an election year tactic. They want him to stop." "end paraphrasing"
Bush can't sneeze without it being characterized as political. It's an "election-year tactic," a "political ploy," an "attempt to score points with his base," or other such nonsense.
Many years ago, Lampley and another sports reporter were "trying out" for the same job with NBC I believe...I can't remember the other guys name, but he was much better and less of a as-----.. Wonder what ever happenned to him....Lampley is a never-was relegated to HBO boxing -- brought out of the closet every 4 years as a minor fill-in!
I'm certainly not in favor of Bush going, but Lampley is an a$$. Here's what I sent Sports@MSNBC.com :
I see Jim Lampley has gotten older, but no wiser. Whether the advice to President Bush (on a RUMORED trip to Athens) was penned by Lampley or simply vomited up by him, it reeked. NBC should put more effort into obtaining effective graphics, a greater variety of events and fewer openly anal anchormen. If the leader of the free world needs your advice, I'm sure he's got your number. Thanks to Lampley, we all do.
I'M SPITTING NAILS! I EMAILED THEM A NASTY MESSAGE! I'M SICK OF IT , SICK OF IT I TELL YOU!!!!!! I couldn't believe what I was hearing....I AM TOTALLY PISSED OFF! ENOUGH! I HATE THOSE FREAKERS!!!
i wonder how much as* he would be sucking if skerry said he and the mouth would make a visit.
I just want ahead and emailed them at their regular email site. I'M BEYOND SPEECHLESS...I'M PISSED AS HELL!!
Not only that, Weasel Face Lampley used to take shots at Jesse Helms all the time, while doing sports commentaries. He's one of the smarmiest pink diaper brats there is.
"That one is so far right Michael Moore is going to make a documentary about it."
Woods' shot was so far right it landed in the next fairway.
Clymer alert.
Heck, why not complain to the head guy? Dick Ebersol is the executive producer of NBC's Olympics coverage.
Don't forget that the bastard said he read it on Drudge...IT'S A RUMOR and the f'er is towing it like if it's the gospel truth! This is payback for the SWIFT guys accustions against their buttboy! I BET MY LIFE on it!
Your pathetic little editorial on whether or not president Bush would be visiting Greece for the Gold Medal soccer match was revealing, Mr. Lampley. Are you vying for Tom Brokaw's spot? You seem to have garnered a good deal of courage in the presence of willing, like minded ideologues in Leftist Europe. Keep it up. You'll continue your "once every 4 year gig" as back-up to Costas. You and your ilk have demonized everything good about American culture (YES CULTURE!).

Lampley doesn't know the difference between facts and Fig Newtons.
Sorry, I forgot to preface the text:
What I Sent to Lampley
That's not it.
That's my opinion.
