I get my points across best when I'm blunt, so here I go...

Your point about someone telling A&E about gracious professionalism is misplaced. Someone should tell all the teams & individuals about it. The producer didn't manufacture those comments, people said them. They were a part of the competition and the producer has a right to use them. Maybe the individuals should have restrained themselves better.

The fact about comments like that is most, if not all of us, (myself included) have thought or verbalized similar feelings. We get caught up in the moment and think, say, or do things we shouldn't. We're not perfect, and I don't think we should try to pretend we are. If someone unintentionally does or says something out of line at a competition, accept their apology and go on

Mike
