    About Button

    Maybe it's because I was 10 and impressionable when he said it, but I can't seem to scrub my memory clean of Dick Button's terrible simile for the Katarina Witt-Debi Thomas Dueling Carmens drama. In his wrap-up, he said it hung around "like an overweight dinner guest who refused to leave."

    He's going to have to do at least another 20 years of solid, pain-free commentary to atone for that.
