3. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThank you, Hank. Forty years of service means he has never once lost a schedule. The Olympics is a schedule with fireworks.

5. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorKenji, your opening.

6. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe Olympics is sports, snacks and vibes. You can't put vibes in a chain of command. Nobody salutes a pole vault.

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMy verdict: both of you are wrong. The Games should be run by whoever can find parking in Los Angeles.

27. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI reject that ruling.
