NBC aired another sob story tonight - on Australian triathlete Loretta Harrop, who lost her mother to a brain tumor and lost her brother to a car accident. Apparently this was supposed to make us feel warm and fuzzy when Harrop, the favorite in the triathlon, won the gold medal. Instead, she won the silver. Hey, you don't need a sob story to prove that things don't always work out the way you want them to.
This is only the second sob story I've seen in prime time. A lot of restraint this time on NBC's part - and about time, too.
