NBC pulls a Kaavya Viswanathan during Kentucky Derby Coverage

Hopefully ABC will follow these guys next yearBloodhorse.com has reported that NBC has admitted to a case of Kaavya-itis.  NBC has come clean and admitted that a producer of the Kentucky Derby telecast got a little confused with the backstory on trainers Dan Hendricks and Michael Matz, and scenes from “The West Wing”.

I hope that the ABC producers become more creative and plagarise from “Cheers” during next years road to the Kentucky Derby.  Here’s a perfect example to get them started…

WOODY: What are you up to Mr. Peterson?
NORM: My ideal weight…if I were 11 feet tall.

Now here would be the ABC version…

Jerry Bailey:  What are you up to Hank?

Hank Goldberg:  My ideal weight…if I were 11 feet tall.
