Olympics

Why does NBC continue to string us along with horrible Olympic coverage? They show highlights, but spread them through the 5 hour block, so there's no way to plan ahead. "And coming up in 17 minutes, the semi-finals, featuring Ohno. See if he makes it to the finals, but we can't tell you when those are."

If I wanted to watch a show about athlete stories, I'd tune into the History Channel.

I want to see the sports. I'd like to be able to plan my time. And for that, please let me know that, hey, Speed Skating is on at 9:00. Snowboard cross coverage is at 7:30, and Curling, well, that's all day long.

But no, NBC wants to sell me a drama about Vonn and the Olympic gold, only stay tuned, because after this commercial for yet another asthma drug, the significant conflict in this story unfolds.

NBC Sucks.
