No skating rink collapse, judging scandal or childhood triumph over adversity could compete with the melodrama broiling inside NBC as it launched its coverage of the 2006 Winter Games.

Costas may get most things right...but in about 30 minutes of watching last night I counted at least 3 errors on the part of Williams...and I wasn't really listening too hard. It's either that or watching the Canucks do the hosting. And they are insufferable.

It is any surprise GE wants to unload NBC?

She has a little more hair...I think :-)
