Sandra Bezic with the commentary..

[codebreaker]

I think MSNBC has control of live transmissions from the games.

[Amore]

Exactly. Why ARE we missing this? There's MSNBC online with their live audio/video feeds, they have the Olympics, and yet they're not running it online. Stupid.

[DJ88]

Then he says, "Vee cannot allow the publik to judge zee Olympics..."

Oh REALLY??? What would you do if we all just got UP AND TOOK OFF OUT OF SALT LAKE CITY, HUH???

[LenS]

Sweeps started Thursday, January 31st. You're correct that some of the other networks have decided to use reruns and save new episodes for March and April. FOX, on the other hand, decided to not use reruns since their season started so late with the the World Series. The other networks are telling advertisers that they should ignore these two weeks since the Olympics are a quadrennial event that distorts the season's actual numbers. But all of that doesn't change the fact that NBC advertisers are getting their money's worth (unlike Sydney where NBC ran extra ads for free to compensate for lower ratings).

[ruoflaw]

Italian?, why is he speaking English with a French accent?

[DJ88]

Yes, you're right..CNN should be running this too....it's too good too miss.

This is going to be THE LEAD STORY tonight on ALL the networks!! HA!!!!!

[OKSooner]

Cool. She's kinda cute up close, although she doesn't look Japanese to me...

[NittanyLion]

I wonder if Canada will yank their skating delegation? IMHO, they should.

I keep getting emails from McCain's office every two hours now with a list of congressmen I need to call to vote against every substitute to Shays Meehan. The odd thing is that I assume the offices can trace from what area code you are calling to know whether you live in the district. Quite odd.

Sorry for this off topic snippet.

[Howlin]

To throw us off, of course! ROFLMAO.

[DJ88]

Good question. He doesn't sound ITALIAN to me. He sounds FRENCH. But what do I know?

[NittanyLion]

Except for Reuters, who awarded him two 6.0's for outstanding anti-American sentiment.

[codebreaker]

Sick Ashcroft on this Euro, it's only been an hour and I have had it with the evasions.

[Howlin]

From his OFFICE????????

[section9]

I think it important to inform everybody that this guy is not French. He's Italian. If this guy were French, this thing would have become a howling disaster by now. As it is, it's just become a walking catastrophe.

Oh how deliciously wicked this all is...

Meanwhile, the ISU has revealed its linup for the now controversial Ice Dance competition this Friday...

Everyone can now rest easy. The Eureaucrats are on the case!

Be Seeing You,

Chris

[maggief]

... and a 6.0 from the Russian judge.

[DJ88]

I agree. Since it happened, I refuse to watch the Olympics.

[Rebelbase]

From his office?.....details please!
