Sorry, more people I haven’t heard of competing in obscure amateur sports. And what’s on the Today show this morning as I prepare to greet my day? Great, heartwarming human interest stories about people I’ve never heard of overcoming adversity to compete in obscure amateur sports. NBC, I’d like my Jesse L. Martin back now please. 3.
