    Ouuuuuch. That's what he gets for being an idiot. I mean why would he say that while he's at the news desk like that?

      He wouldn't have lasted any way. Wasn't looking into the camera. Didn't sound like he knew what he was saying, or couldn't read the teleprompter at first. He just sped up the process.

        Yeah, that was just a mess all around. Unfortunately my first thought was that maybe North Dakota is like, a minor league of news broadcasting where people can go and suck like that, but he must be an outlier. His resume video is a little better (except when he's rocking the glasses and that half mustache) but he still seems incredibly stunted and rigid. It was how I'd expect a broadcasting student to look when they first began their college broadcasting experience, not what the final product would look like.

          He was practicing some hard names from the London Marathon. The guy who won was Tsegaye Kebede, which is why it sounds like he's making a slur there saying "gay". He was screwing up the names while practicing and swearing to himself because of it.

          Saw all this when the Today show had him on...Feel a little bad for him, but hopefully he'll end up somewhere else.
