Al Roker's Got Your Grandstand

Al Roker isn't impressed with the print reviews of his Hurricane Wilma coverage for NBC, and blogs about it:

Okay, I have held my tongue long enough, but enough is enough.

I've been Googling news stories about my now infamous fall on live television during my coverage of Hurricane Wilma. I've read all these print journalists knocking their broadcast brethren about how we are trivializing hurricane coverage.

How we are setting bad examples. How this is just grandstanding.

I've got your grandstand right here.

He calls the print medium "irrelevent" in hurricane coverage, which is a little bit of a stretch.

He should have counted to ten, taken a deep breath, and then written something else, lest he draw attention to the example of deep, unrivaled relevance of TV weather coverage provided recently by his "Today Show" colleague, Canoe Girl.

Roker's Web site is very interesting if you click more to find out about Al:

"I originally started Al Roker Productions, Inc. in 1992 for the purpose of launching a website."

For anyone who remembers the history of the World Wide Web, to envision a Web site in 1992 puts Al in the league of another famous Al (former VP Gore).

Such great talent wasted as a weatherman.
