    I remember the Olympics being on pretty much all the time...and EVERYTHING was on. I wish NBC would just air the events live as they happen, and then do replays throughout the day. I mean they already are airing replays, so what does it hurt for them to air them actually live? Regardless if they are on at 2am...SOMEBODY would watch, screw all those paid programming infomercials.

    We get so many spoilers in the news and on the internet, kinda makes the replays useless.

    try and get canadian broadcasting!

    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    they just add too much drama to it:

    "oooh, that's a deduction!"

    "ewww"

    "aaahhh"

    "she moved just a little"

    "too much butt-crack"


    so much focusing on the mistakes

    :lol:

    Way too much butt crack

    Also that backflip twist that the Russians are doing looks way easy.
