NBC, doing the right thing

Let the first Olympic notes be positive:

*As NBC signed off after coverage of the opening ceremony Friday night, it put up a message dedicating the broadcast to and honoring the memory of the great Jim McKay. It was only a fitting tribute to the man known as "Mr. Olympics."

*Though having commentators call some of the action from studios in New York instead of in China isn't the best arrangement, give NBC credit for at least telling viewers that's what is going on.

 

About Ray Frager
Ray Frager joined The Baltimore Sun’s sports department in 1985 and has been an assistant sports editor for more than 15 years. This is his second stint writing a sports media column for The Baltimore Sun. Most sequels aren't as good as the original, but then, the original wasn't all that great either.

Frager, born in 1957, grew up in northern Delaware (graduating from a high school that since has shut down) and received his bachelor's degree in journalism from Rider College in Lawrenceville, N.J. He worked as a reporter and copy editor at The Trenton Times and The Dallas Morning News before coming to Baltimore.

Surprisingly, if you look at his accompanying photo, Frager is married and has a son and daughter. He enjoys playing basketball and has organized pickup games among members of The Baltimore Sun staff for many years, which means they don't get too mad at him for shooting way too much.

He has a good beat and is easy to dance to. I'd give him an 85.
