    Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel

    I like this series and it has some interesting stories, but man, who dresses these clowns.

    It seriously looks like they pilfered a salvation army thrift store and threw the wardrobe together 5 minutes before they were set to go live. That Roundtable they have at the end of the show looked like they dressed in the dark, especially that Frank Deford Grandpa Munster looking guy.

    Great stories and good commentary, but its hard to take them seriously.

    Good to see that Bryant seems to be doing OK after his surgery for lung cancer a couple of years ago.

      Back in the day, sportswriters dressed like sketchy characters from the local OTB parlor...

      And these folks, (albeit highly talented and regarded) are mos' def of that time and place...

      Between the plaid sports coats and the multi colored "Cosby" sweaters, it's not unlike DJ's having a "face for radio"...



      Heck, back then, writers didn't even have by line photos...

        Yeah, Deford is "old school" Transylvania.
