What did you think of the Olympics?
 

Not who won what, but the TV coverage.

I was not impressed with the coverage, seems like last Olympics you could choose between 4 or 5 different channels and find something you wanted to watch, this time it was one channel at a time and half of the primetime hours were filled with human interest stories.

Just wondering what yall thought of it.

I avoid NBC like the plague. That being said, it was the only game in town, so I was forced to watch one of their channels. While I understand that there's only so much they can show, I have to agree that I thought the coverage was spotty to say the least.

Yea the stories were a bit long winded......

I can't watch anything with Johnny Weir in it without busting out laughing.

not only that, they showed very few medal ceremonies. and yes, I thought some of the human interest stories went a bit long.

Curling is not a sport.

I noticed this, too. Hardly saw any.

Don't forget that during the opening ceremonies NBC glossed over communism in the USSR as "one of modern history's pivotal experiments. :sick:

The coverage was total B.S it reminded me of groundhog day same thing over and over and over every channel. What a shame for the athletes work that hard to hit the big stage for everyone to see and nuttin.

I could see where Curling would make a great drinking game :beer:

I'd be willing to bet that curling was probably invented by a bunch of guys that were cooped up in a bar drinking and one day they decided to go outside and see if they could use rocks on ice like a summer Boccie Ball court.

Now I'm probably wrong, but it just seems to fit. :beer:
