Thanks to a mole at NBC Sports, AfterElton.com was able to obtain this exclusive transcript of an IM conversation between an NBC reporter trying to convince his boss that Matthew Mitcham's upset gold medal victory in the Men's 10 meter platform was worth coverage by the network.
NBCLACKEY: Hey, Boss! Got a great story for tonight’s Oly coverage!
NBCHONCHO: Is it something else about Phelps! Woo hoo!
NBCLACKEY: Um, no. He left Beijing already.
NBCHONCHO: Oh. :-( What then?
NBCLACKEY: On Matthew Mitcham’s last dive during the Men’s 10 M platform—
NBCHONCHO: Men’s what?
NBCLACKEY: 10 M platform. You know, diving.
NBCHONCHO: Oh. Don’t really like that.
NBCLACKEY: Really? Why?
NBCHONCHO: Speedos
NBCLACKEY: ???
NBCHONCHO: Speedos are too revealing.
NBCLACKEY: I see. You must hate women’s beach volleyball then.
NBCHONCHO: ???
NBCLACKEY: Nevermind.
NBCHONCHO: With speedos u see all of a guy’s junk. Nasty
NBCHONCHO: And gay. Besides 10 m isn’t that high. Not impressed. My ten year old can do that.
NBCLACKEY: Um, that’s meters, not feet.
NBCHONCHO: Oh, yeah. Still what is that? Fifteen feet?
NBCLACKEY: Actually, its more than double that. 32 feet.
NBCHONCHO: Stupid European measurements.
More after the break...
