Over time, you can watch a sporting event and see something that many bloggers will pick up on immediately. Billy Packer telling everyone that the championship game is "Ovah!". Erin Andrews getting hugged by Bruce Pearl during the UT - Memphis game. Those are just a few of the examples that come to mind off the top of my head.
Maybe I haven't read enough today, however I haven't seen this anywhere. I guess everyone is OK with John McEnroe hugging Roger Federer at the end of an interview? What is this, Oprah?
If you haven't seen the hug, check it out here.
Ahmad Rashad has been criticized for years for his friendship with Michael Jordan. Yet, I don't remember him ever hugging MJ. Women are criticized for just being on TV for their looks. And you can be sure that Jim Gray would have never given someone a hug. Maybe no one saw the interview, or maybe everyone was perplexed by the fact that Federer wore that sweater right after an epic match. Or maybe no one cares about tennis, I'm not sure.

I guess next year McEnroe can just pull up a couch and they can have an hour long chat, Oprah style. Is this compassionate, sensative guy the same guy that we all remember on the court? (Who doesn't love the Long Island accent here?)
And now he's hugging men in sweaters. Amazing....

Forget the stupid hug!! What about McEnroe's non-existing segway between Federer & the dude that won??!! Classic!!
Oh & for the record, I love the Olympics blogs. Then again, I don't know the name of the dude that won Wimbledon.
Wooden rackets are Rad!
