I've been fascinated to speak with my colleagues and learn what they do in real life. I hope to pass along some of these stories in the near future. As this is my fourth Olympics, I've gotten to know lots of these people very well. It's like a family reunion. But when the Olympics are over, what do we each return to? I'll try to find out as an investigative reporter in the near future. It's easier to spot the people who work in NBC. They're the ones with the most fear. Because they have the most to lose.
We freelancers just don't care, and care even less when we're deprived of sleep.
We're recruited almost like special ops soldiers. We parachute into enemy territory and get the job done. Which is why they ask us back. It's important to know they can depend on us to do this under pressure. Which requires a group of dependable misfits.
