Leave the Sports to the Sports People, Al

Admittedly not a sports outlet, but this is exactly why this warning needs to be sent out.

People who don't know anything about sports, it is better to keep your mouth shut and have people think you're a clueless idiot than to open your mouth and confirm all suspicions.

Before work this morning, I was watching the Today Show to get my spoonfeeding of information on why I should care that it's snowing in New York. Veteran weather-person and token black guy Al Roker was in charge of doing the network plug for NBC's Sunday Night Football.

I guess to tie in with his own "qualifications," Roker gave the weather to be expected around kickoff in Denver on Sunday Night, but then added in an attempt at insight, "But it's a domed stadium, so the weather doesn't really matter out there."

Sigh. He couldn't have even been confused as to who the home team was, because the Broncos are playing the Raiders. Al, please stop this, and stick to eating Oreos in front of a blue screen. If you keep this up, you'll make some of our usual targets look nigh intelligent by comparison.
