Who is looking forward to watching the Olympics? I'm not really all that jazzed about them. I will probally watch a little here and there but not going out of my way to watch any one event. Yawn........

Not me. F the OlyMpics, King5's Beijing weather reports, and anything to do with tilapia. The only good thing about the games this year is the USA softball pitcher.

Now I just googled her up and man does she have bad taste in Bikinis. She can do better than that.

It's just a bad day.

The hoser networks usually have more interesting and broader coverage as they will show events that may have a top athlete from another country than Canada. The US coverage has just shown events the US is dominate in. Too much talking. I really do not care to hear the life story of some obscure dude from Midfinger S. Dakota. Just show the frickin' events.

Do you believe in miracles...yes!

1980 USA vs USSR

Since the fall of the Soviet Union, Democracy vs. Communism, the games haven't been the same.

I'll watch periodicaly and keep track of the medal count. They never show any of the shooting events. The shooting events are the only thing I can relate too and possibly compete in. Hell I get tired just watching the other events.

I watched the last hour of the opening ceremony and it was pretty good. I think this year just about every event will be broadcast on the net so you can watch the shooting j7.
I think the figure I heard was 9000 hours of programing from NBC....mostly on the net.
I'll watch a little bit but not much.
I do however love watching some of the events in the winter olympics.

Tooooooo funny topwater.

And I see the first american has been murdered already. There's no way Beijing can cover all the nut cases running around.

Well duhhh.....NS

What country are you guys from?

You dont want to see your own country kick ass????

I think its worse to hear about some obscure person from middletoe BFE.

The best event this year will be the mens 100m. All three of the top runners have broken the world record in the last year. Two Jamacans and Tyson Gay from the US.

The same people that only want to see U.S. win medals are the same people that are "fans" of whichever Sports team won last years championship...

Like Bulls fans back in the 90's that had never been within 1000 miles of Chicago... Former Yankees fans that are now Sox fans... Red Wings Fans...

I love the fact that I can get CBUT on my cable system. They do a much better job than NBC.

Lets stay on track Irie and not change the subject. No one is puting your fanhood in check. If you want to see Dowchybag McTambohad from Crapkillastan sweep the gold in the 100m pants around the ankle race then check it out on the net. Just like me if I want to watch the shooting events (see also Seastike reply)

You guys were upset that the network coverage had to much US coverage. Well............................lets analyze why

Its a U.S. network, covering U.S athletes and broadcasting to...............................

people in the U.S.

They show what the majority of the viewers want to see. I guarantee you are the minority. Even if you had everyone on the PP board agree with you its still a minority compared to the population of viewers for which they broadcast to.

Yeah I know.
Being in the minority is something I'm proud of...seeings how the majority of Americans still believe in Ghosts, Angels, and a devil that has goat hooves, horns, a pointy tail, that walks around possessing people; and that dinosaur fossils are nothing more than fakes planted by secular humanists to undermine family values and advance the gay agenda through public education.

In other words:




wait for it....



Steady....



Completely Fu*kin' Stupid.

I'm watching girls beach volleyball. I want to see Kerri Walsh and Misty May do it in the sand when they win the gold medal. I thought they were lesbian 4 years ago when they humped each other after they won.
