I am a huge history fan, I love all things WWII, but that was really odd. I turned on the TV at 8 to watch the Olympics. What a bizarre choice. Why? Why?
Okay. I think I feel better now.
The womens 4x400 and mens 4x100 was kind of amazing to watch. Too bad about the women's voleyball, but I still think I'm in love with Logan TomThat's insane!! Why wouldn't they choose someone who, you know, has somethingto do with sports??
Thank god Canada's CTV only has qualified Olympic hosts and annoncers, as in popular SPORTS broadcasters and actual ex Olympic athletes. That is weird. Wtf NBC? I actually used to switch back and forth between Canadian networks and NBC quite a bit, but I gave that up some time ago because they did start acting just like you say - a strange overbearing focus only on Americans, almost as though they were the only ones competing. Sounds like I made a good decision in giving them up!
