Ebersol is brilliant...

or whoever made the decision to brink Bela Karolyi on as a guest analyst because he can say whatever the hell he wants and becomes the scapegoat for NBC... I mean that as a good thing. The Network, obviously Costas, even Collinsworth is being PC and he never shuts up in the NFL segments. NBC comes off looking squeaky clean and any backlash or outburst by anyone that wants to complain for "blaming the refs", which is taboo in sports, and NBC just points the finger at Bela. It's smart, let's bring on Bela and knowing his personality ask him the tough question and just sit back and watch him go. Bela has been great though, simply stating his opinions on judging and he has made comments about other countries performances that earned them medals as opposed to us losing them via poor scoring. He's been a treat for sure, it just so happens he is also the perfect villian for NBC to blame should he say something controversial.
