"There's those that felt like she threw her team under the bus," said Marty Reid, ABC's lead race-caller. "As (driver) Tony Kanaan pointed out, that's ...

Behind the Scenes With NBA TV
By Chris Tomasson - AOL NewsATLANTA -- This is supposed to be the more serious side at the Turner Sports studios. But is it? While Ernie Johnson, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith are yukking it over on TNT's "Inside the NBA,'' there's plenty more action during these NBA playoffs going on in the building.
