yes NBC sucks...last night i had to decide between watching poofy dogs or poofy men....the dogs won last night. what really sucks is that CBC is no longer our alternate supply here in seattle...we dont get CTV here.

They can provide all of the commentary I need as voiceover during the actual event or in replay... I don't need or want a bunch of in-studio commentary and discussion. Just show the competition

I agree the coverage is terrible. I miss ABC's coverage.

they arent using UniversalSports for olympics coverage....they had some duspute...i think they wanted to use if for live coverage. but either the IOC or someone had a problem with that.
its a shame since that is the only decent sports channel they have. how is it that US can show a whole world cup ski event but when it comes to the olympics (that more people would watch) they f*ck it up?

My understanding is that you reside in Vancouver. Have you vacated Vancouver, during the Olympics? Say it isn't so. Are you, in fact, Canadian? Seriously.
