Not to mention that they show events on FOUR channels all day long, and you can literally watch every single event live online for free, complete with the ability to watch them recorded later.
There has literally never been more access to Olympic coverage than what NBC is giving us right now.

I understand that, and it has gotten better since they started playing it on other channels. But I really cannot stand figure skating. Can't do it. And when I come home and flip on the TV that's all I see. I'm not a huge fan of any of the winter sports, so it's not like I set out to view a specific event, but I want to see the contested races, and some of the things USA has done. Nope. Figure skating or ice dance or whatever the **** figure skating wannabe lame ass shit is on. There is a whole pile of elite athletes doing remarkable things and every time I tune in it is mother****ing figure skating.
The commentators are atrocious for most of what I've seen. **** figure skating. Other than the US/Russia hockey match there haven't been a lot of replays that I've seen. Costas has to give social commentary.
There just isn't anything I like about it or even think they're doing an adequate job of.
