I don't think they even showed the medal ceremony where our speed skater won a silver

No, NBC couldn't be bothered to show Parra being awarded his silver medal. Stupid heads. And Costas was a twerp at times this evening. "Well, when they finally got around to awarding the medals." Excuse me Bob? We all know that the medals were going to be awarded in the evening, perhaps you should have read your press guide.

And I thought the coverage stunk. What little sportings events we saw were so good. But it was like skiing for 3 minutes, 5 minutes of commercials, ski jumping for 10 minutes, profiles for 1 minute, 5 minutes of commercials, oh, then ice skating for 8 minutes, then...it was so disjointed. I'm really disappointed in the coverage.

I sent an email to NBC complaining about Costas' attitude both last night and the night before at the opening ceremony.

For the life of me, I don't understand why they don't have all day programming on Sat & Sun so we could see LIVE what is going on! It's in the United States after all, and therefore no time zone business. Besides, even when it's half way across the world, I'd get up to watch. But no, even then they have to tape delay everything. I'm with you, minimize the profiles and commercials and show the d*mn sports.
