ice storm in little rock has knocked out our 'icy olympic coverage'...but replaced it with something far more interesting. i'll set the stage. i live at a somewhat busy residential intersection..and hilly. so, since we lost cable the new entertainment is watching ice-ignorant arkansans try everything to get up the hill..only to slide back down..sometimes into other angry neighbors' yards..or into each other. oh..gotta run..there's another 'spinning attempt' in progress as i write..

Photography, A+
Coverage, D- I can't believe that some bubble-headed NBC commentator asked the mens US Gold-win speedskater (who obviously is not a whore for the camera) . .. she asks/blurts; "are you angry!?" I guess she felt that he wasn't putting on a good enough show for her, so she when Jerry Springer on his ass. - Pathetic

What's new, they always suck.
We are at least 8 hours behind them and they want it to seem live........ And I really do not care about an interview or the life history of someone from outer povlovia. Just show a summary of the results, and treat it like a news story. Show the gold, silver and bronze preformances in each sport, and the podium awards and be done with it in about an hour a day...we have it on all day and do not ever see the gold metal performance in whatever, because they only show it once. But then it has always been that way. If none of us watched it, or the people with the Nielson boxes would not watch it, someone might get the message..

It sure would be better than that "snowboard cross" -- what a joke.
They looked like a special olympics event. . .. s l o w , and stupid. .. highly banked turns, painted up in snow-cone colors, all so a bunch of floppy-drawered boarders could funnel down the slope like little kids running to the ball-bin at Chucky Cheeses.

Okay, so the good things about the olympics are womens' curling, and I'm going to add ice dancing after last night
. What's the worst thing? Idiot commentators like Island said? I agree-they're morons. How about the old film clips of cross country skiing showing footage of the Norwegians with foot long goo strings hanging out of their mouths? Or the commentators stating the Birkebeiner is held annually in the mountains north of Green Bay. Sorry? Mountains? I know that there's a "bay" north of Green bay, which is the home of the Packers-yes, it's green. Or the question to one contender-"So, are you going to go back in the spring to find your dead brother who was lost in a storm?" causing the guy to burst into tears. Sheesh
