I think it would be so much fun, if they could guarantee the not dying thing. As it is, I'm happy to watch others.

Best way to watch the Olympics. DVR it and do something else for the 1st 45 mins. Come back and watch while it tapes. The amount of commercials is staggering. 45 mins. worth last night. By the time you skip thru them all, the timing is just about right. You're watching live the last 5 mins. Sweet.

It's like every other sporting event.

A good example of why I like my "HDTV on the left, tube TV on the right" setup. The Olympics will be closed-captioned silent fodder on the HD for two weeks, while we watch TiVo on the tube set.

45 minutes of commercials over almost 4 hours isn't bad at all.

Disagree. Luge and bobsled are my least favorite just because it's about impossible for a layman to really know who is doing well aside from watching the clock. They all look almost exactly the same aside from a different outfit, and you can't ever see them for more than 2 continuous seconds on the way down.

Don't get me wrong - I know there's a lot of skill involved in it. I just don't think it's all that entertaining as a spectator sport.

Pretty much this. The only reason I ever have to watch is to see if there's a crash because the absolute greatest in the field looks no different than the guy who finishes dead last, assuming they dont crash.

oh cool, we'll catch a bit of the James Bond event today. (skiing while shooting at things)

So, Central Time Zone folks...does your coverage start at noon or 1pm today? Just curious to see if I'm gonna be delayed compared to you all again.

Dont worry, we wont spoil it for you. For example, I planned to say that the US, which has never won a medal in the event, looks like they are putting themselves in good position for the seeding in the Nordic combined, but I wont do that.

Eh, it's OK. I just read the thread and keep the timestamps I'm reading an hour behind.


All times are GMT -6. The time now is 08:27 PM.
