Stop turning every US Olympic athlete into the main character of an over dramatized made for TV thriller. Stream the world feed, not just the events Americans are competing in. Shut the fuck up during the events, the commentating is terrible. That is all.

As much as you would like to alter NBCs tv station to cater to your personal needs, the olympics don't revolve around you Rowen.

CTV's coverage is way worse. I hope CBC gets the rights back in 2012 and 2014.

Gotta love how they show 4 runs from each ski racing event - the top 3 and then the most brutal crash to end it out.

This isn't NASCAR, NBC

Pretty sure it's blocked in the USA. Have there actually been any legitimate stories in this Olympics besides the Joannie Rochette thing? I guess the US win over Canada was one, and last night's CAN-RUS game. Manufactured drama, gotta love it.

Dear Rowen,
The coverage of the Olympics has sucked balls for every one ive seen in my young life. It's sort of a bummer. Write soon.

No I dont think they read newschoolers, BUUUT they do read Rowans personal blog, because in case you didn't know, Rowan is the God of the internet, and is the coolest kid on MANY PROMINENT intraweb forums. So yes, NBC does pay attention.

The coverage is pretty awful too. I think america is the only country you can't watch them live. Kids can't even watch any of it really since it doesn't start till 8, and doesn't get through the bullshit till about 8:30.

Then the fact that after every minute race down the hill it's another 5 min commercial break. And 50 percent of the competitions seem to be figure skating.

I've just been watching the early morning reruns flipping to survivorman on breaks.

I had this conversation the other day.

I think there would be a lot more viewers if Stephen Colbert did all the commentary.

CTV was shit at the beginning of the games but they listened and have changed now.
Actually mentioning the other events and saying there on other channels. And introduced a ticker at the bottom of the screen in some cases to keep you updated.

Uh what? Rowen knows CC. They're just fucking around. Not to mention I don't think I've ever seen anyone banned for telling someone else to suck their dick that I can remember.

If the words I have been using are too difficult for you, I am sorry. Normally I would try and put it in simpler terms, but in this case your too dumb to understand the simplest of the simple.

you suck.
