copy-pasting a post from some guy on another board that pretty much nails how NBC is handling this.

They just edited one of the premiere events of the entire Winter Olympics down to 25 minutes including video packages, introduction, and commercials. After tape-delaying it by 6 hours.

F**k. This. Company.

Well, they could make it a more challenging Olympic event by having polar bears on the rink ice with the figure skaters. :)

Why is having a broken thumb such a big deal in skiing? Tape the pole to his hand and let him go.

Swallowing all those sequins could be bad for the bear.

alnorth 02-15-2010 07:40 PM

the Talking Can 02-15-2010 07:48 PM

I couldn't understand why, weeks ago, everyone was saying that NBC had already lost millions by showing the Olympics.

Now that I've seen their coverage, I get it. They were already factoring in the horrible ratings due to the stupidity of their coverage.

men's 500m speed skating spoiler alert:

Although we won the last two olympics, we didnt have a strong contender this year, and as expected we arent even coming close to medalling in the short race.

alnorth 02-15-2010 08:10 PM

oh hey, wow we are actually going to cut to some live action... for pairs figure skating. Probably only because both american couples are coming up, then we'll probably go back to tape delay again.

While it's never going to be a tough-guy sport, figure skating it freaking amazing!!!
