I am not a sports fan but I always make sure to watch the Olympics. It is something else entirely. And sure NBC has its faults, but it does fairly good coverage.
Though what they really need is to take CNBC and do constant Olympics coverage for 24 hours a day. Gives better coverage.
Anyway the Olympics are something I always tune into. I don't watch a lot of it, but its always a fun thing to watch on TV.
Besides, John Williams did the Olympic score and its always great to listen to.

My problem with NBC is the fucking Lifetime-ification of every athlete's personal story of 'triumph over adversity'. That and the ludicris ammount of time devoted to women's gymnastics. god i hate that almost as much as figure skating.
Does anyone here not?

What? Not going to watch the swimming or diving?Frank Hipper wrote:I'll try and catch some Men's Gymnastics and Wrestling.
But I'm sure the really interesting things will be highlighted on the news, the Olympics this year are going to be a fucking fiasco.
That they are.

It kinda sucks that neither myself nor my sister made the Canadian Olympic team this year, of course not everyone even makes it to the Olympic trials but still...anyway, we'll still watch the swim events since we have some friends & teammates to cheer on.
