Thanks for not providing a LIVE Feed this afternoon NBC... So all we get is just 6 runs in the DH and the Round of 16 in SBX... Thanks for cutting out over half of the races for American fans

But you now know some podunk town in Manitoba is the polar bear capital of Canada.

And sadly this was probably the first time I could NOT find a feed elsewhere on the internet... CTV/TSN had all their feeds locked for US IPs... Nothing elsewhere either...

I've come to the decision that NBC is the single worst network when it comes to sports. I'd rather watch the olympics on the food network...

And Canadian fans as well. As I said last night, NBC makes me want to puke!

Congrats to Bode -- looks like maybe he's finally all grown up.

I'm confused.

CNBC - dog show
USA - Wrestling
MSNBC - Rachel Maddow

Where's the Olympic Coverage?

Summer olympics abused the networks. NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, Bravo, USA, and I think there was one more. This is simply ridiculous.

I found a couple, but one's showing figure skating as well, and the other appears to be a studio show on the olympics with the figure skating as audio.

Thanks, NBC, as always, for sucking at life. I'll drink to your memory when you're finally gone.

I wouldn't bet the farm on that.

Considering he's 32 though, it was good for him to redeem himself a bit. This year was probably his last serious chance for a third medal (I had forgotten about his two silvers at SLC).

And I doubt any of the figure skaters are going to relieve themselves at the blue line.

I was just coming here to post - are they competing in jeans?

Oh, he's there. He'll be In Studio With Bob Costas.

I thought that US Pairs team did really well.
