U.G.:
Stand by for whining from all the children.
Down here near Douglas Arizona, we're getting NASCAR.
Why? I asked a local who knows.
"Because there aren't many skiers in Douglas, but we do have car racing fans....and that includes customers on both sides of the border."

....'course if the whiners really cared, they coulda' bought tickets and gone in person!

Yes, NBC still has to make money during the Olympics. But they lock the rights up tight, and then butcher the coverage. Why can't another station just televise the Olympics, live, as they are happening? I know the answer, but it is still irritating, especially when the tickets to see an Olympic event live is expensive.
