Jim Delany interviewing from a treadmill

My local sports radio station here in Atlanta is AM 790. Normally they are very SEC focused but this morning they interviewed Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany about the BCS and potential Big 10 expansion.

There is of course nothing new or noteworthy in the interview but what makes it amazing is the fact that ol' Jim is on a damn treadmill throughout the whole interview. For the first 8 minutes or so, he is responding to questions while breathing heavily into the phone and he sounds completely insane.

Finally towards the end, one of the hosts asks if he is on an elliptical since he never addressed why he was huffing and puffing.

Listen here:

What a douchebag.

Good god. Rule #1 for radio interviews or over the phone interviews: Be in a quiet place where you will not be distracted. Rule #2: Do not workout while interviewing. Rule #3: Do not be stupid.

He disobeyed all 3 rules.

It's pretty sad that the public face for the Big Ten conference continues to make a fool of himself. I really don't think Delany is the guy to lead this conference. I still think the Big Ten network, Delany's baby, has been a disappointment. Limited availability and poor production values and programming has marred the channel. Winning more bowl and BCS games will help the conference's image, but things need to change on how the conference is run.

This needs to be updated immediately...

[edit] Influence
Due to his position, Delany controls a significant amount of power with regards to the BCS. 25% of all U.S. households are in the geographic region covered by the Big Ten Conference. This has had major implications on his influence over college football.

Mr. Delany opposes the idea of a college football playoff system, arguing that a playoff would diminish the value of regular season games. Detractors to this argument do not believe that this would be true, and that a playoff system would add value to the sport by allowing for a fair way to determine a college football champion.[2]
