I think they should call this the Winter Olymipcs of Commercials. I am seriously going to start timing how much sports time NBC devotes versus how much time they devote to commercials. I thought the coverage was horrible this evening.

I really enjoyed watching the women in the moguls, wow. And it as nice that an American took silver. And the speedskating was so incredible! A great day for the Olympics and a great day for the Americans.

And Bob Costas had a couple of snide remarks, my favorite "Well, when they finally got around to awarding the medals..." Excuse me, Bob, perhaps you should have read your prep material, all of the medals will be presented in the evening at the Medals Plaza. (I think all the medals, or at least the vast majority of them will be presented there.) And NBC didn't even bother to show Derik Parra's silver medal being awarded. Sorry to rant so long...

Hell no, not yet. They have to make us wait till after the local news, then they'll come back with the latenight edition. I'll bet you money, right now, that they don't show that medal ceremony until right before they go off the air.

Don't feel bad about ranting. I feel the same way. I cannot believe they only showed about 1/3 of the women's moguls finals! Then we watch all these stupid bios and putrid commercials instead. And the ski jumping!!! WHAT were they thinking when they set up the cameras? They were too close to the jumper, and you could see neither their form on their skis, nor their distance above the ground. So you see, I could gripe for an hour over this too. And I could also gripe about what those California developers did to Park City and the Heber Valley/Midway area...;o)
