Why not just stream TSN/CTV? The online coverage is great thus far (in my opinion, of course)

I agree wholeheartedly; I was in New York for the Beijing games and I saw no race over 400m duration.
That said, I still enjoy my weekly dose of the Office.

I also can't wait to see more skiers make some "mashed potatoes" out of the snow. |

"Zamboni" is a brand-name, like "Kleenex" or "Ski-Doo". Betcha that after all of the problems that they were having on the ice with the "ice resurfacer," representatives from Zamboni called in to all of the broadcast networks and said they'd sue their asses if they tied Zamboni with those weak Olympia machines.
So basically, they're not "Zambonis", which is why they're not being called "Zambonis"

Why not just stream TSN/CTV? The online coverage is great thus far (in my opinion, of course) because NBC has ensured that the CTV 'World Feed' is blocked out in the States. essentially giving people in the US no choice but to watch their shotty coverage. Earlier today they were broadcasting the qualification round of somethingrather over the medal-round men's downhill... |
