He’s always nipping out.
He does Indycar as well and he's so brutal. Need Tim Hutchins on the call
What’s with showing speed (mph). who uses mph? we want splits!
Tries to cheerlead the meet and it’s a disaster . “ wow “ what meet .
as an Aussie I’m eternally grateful to you guys for graciously accepting this man and keeping him off our tv screens.
the NBC shills (Diffey and Swanguard) are terrible. One would think that the only two athletes that exist are Allison Felix and, now, Sha Carri Richardson

Does he not name the runners coming in 3rd through 6th or 7th in semis bc he cannot make out who they are? Even though they were all mentioned, like in the women's 5,000, and I can make out who they are.
Did anyone else laugh when, in the last 100 meters of heat 2 for the steeplechase, he actually said the words "Johnson is now starting to come"?

He highlights the people in sixth and seventh earlier in the race. Like when two laps into a 5,000 and the person in seventh who won't be a factor scooches into sixth, he'll give you a, "And here comes Hugh Jass on the outside, what might he do?"
I beat the drum about Leigh Diffey every single time. He is so bad. He seems genuinely surprised when get gets an athlete’s name right. He truly doesn’t know who any of them are or even seem to care. Swangard and Stones at least know who the athletes are, and Hammond called the action well. Mike Tirico is there. Use him!
I would prefer we get an American or a Brit of Tim Hutchins/Steve Cram caliber to call the races. Ato is always a pro. Sanya Richards has the credentials. But I am not a big fan of Leigh or Swangard. Never, ever, bring in that woman who talks non-stop in the NCAA commentating! There are plenty of American distance running fans who could do better but Kara is a ton better than the NCAA commentator.
Along with Lewis Johnson making people sign some toy Eiffel Tower.
What happened to the sport I love?

It shows the people behind production have never had any involvement in the sport. It's not only a metric the track world never cares about or looks at but its also entirely useless because when they show it everybody is running in a pack, thus basically the same mph. They could use the same data to show "estimated finishing time" or something marginally more interesting.
