Last night was interesting.
Costas has an eye infection and looks like lap puppet Charlie McCarthy.

Shawn White quit one event and that was chickenshit to do that at the last minute, someone else could have come in his place for that event.

Most noticeable are the commercials. They are as interesting or more interesting that those of the Super Bowl.

ABC always did the best Olympics,, maybe NBC can improve on their past attempts.

What do you expect from a "Third World Venue"? Sochi is a shit hole.
NBC and their affiliates will not show the bad side of Sochi.
It would be bad for the current President's socialist agenda.
I hope our athletes are safe and do well, however, I have a very uneasy feeling about these Games.
I pray for the success and safety of our American athletes. Kick some Communist ass. :thumbup:

I thought the opening looked like a bad "It's a small world" ride from Disney Land

That's exactly what making products "in the USA" will get you. Should have left them at being made in China.

He's good at what he does but he's an anti-gun weenie.. :bunny:

He has the "sound of sports" but he has a hard time knowing when to stop talking. Then there is his political agenda. :thumbsdown


Its the Olympics. I hope....actually pray it all goes well and everyone is safe.:thumbsup

NBC coverage sucks. I was up last night with the kiddo for her 2am feeding, figured I could watch some odd ball event or maybe qualifying rounds of something live. Not a freaking thing on any of the NBC feeds except the T25 insanity work out infomercials.

ABC at least covered events live, even if it was in the middle of the night for us.

I turned it on right at 7:30, Costas was trying to suck Obama's dick.
Turned it off for the duration.

I don't know where you live but here in Phoenix there was live coverage on NBC all night long. The time difference makes for all the live stuff in the middle of the night. I know USA women's hockey was on live and snowboard slope style was live on NBC. Also there was live coverage on nbc sports on direct tv channel 220.... I do believe nbc sports has committed to 18 hours a day coverage of the winter Olympics.

I also have Dish, and so far coverage sucks!
I'm the kind of guy that turns the TV on as soon as I get up, and don't turn it off until bedtime - whether I'm in the room or not. But, I have a whole house sound system so I can listen.
I was really looking forward to having Olympics on 24/7.

Besides the fact that the Olympics are ostensibly in part showing how all nations can get together and enjoy non political competition, trying to shove that walking turds agenda into every aspect of our lives is more than just a little fucking irritating.:D

Al Michaels and Dan Patrick help cancel out Costas presence though they supported him.

Now I know you lie down in the political section. The Obama interview didn't come on until 7:45. ;)

So you are pro guns but anti freedom of speech. :)

Pro gun, pro freedom of speech.. He should stick to reading his teleprompter, like Obama :D

Everyone gets freedom of speech, except those Duck Dynasty boys right?

Some dispute arose when the Chinese demanded 4 gold medals be awarded,, one for each head,, but Axle Kraut, German head of the IOC refused.

That event used to be held OUTSIDE in real conditions.

Same thing when they were running moguls, once again inside.

All these events being held in a stadium suck!!!
