Olympic Rant Part Deux
Agreed Phil. That coverage blew. The men's downhill, in my meaningless opinion, is THE BEST Olympic event and NBC blew that. It is a weekday but it is also a holiday where a bunch of people are sitting around on the couch - it should have been shown live. If not straight NBC, why not CNBC or MSNBC, or some shit, instead of women's prelim hockey and speed skating? Also, I avoided ESPN and most other sports media sources this afternoon so I could leave a little suspense for my 8pm, tape-delayed, half hour of men's downhill. You'd think that if you check nbcsports.com for some scheduling info they wouldn't plaster the results of their tape-delayed material right on the front page, but they did. Way to totally ruin it, NBC. No wonder you're losing money on the Olympics. Oh, and here is the Chris Collinsworth Wooderson video if you haven't seen it. That Rod Stewart song at the beginning is sweet.
