I'm what I seem; not any dyer gave, But nature dyed this colour that I have.
We're still buzzin' about Bruce Springsteen at halftime, but I'll tell you if there was one guy we weren't thinking was 'Born To Run' it was James Harrison.

Any good broadcast, not just an Olympic broadcast, should have texture to it.
