Winter Olympics
I have an odd schedule. I travel a lot, but when I get the chance I always watch tv, sports and news mostly. With the Winter Olympics around, I was looking forward to the fun and excitement that it always brought for me.
I was looking forward to the ski jumping, speed skating, snowboarding, freestyle skiing, etc.
WTF?!?!??! Why the hell is it that whenever I turn to the Olympics on tv, I see nothing but CURLING?!??!?!??! I mean I'm a golfer, I've had people tell me all my life that golf was not a sport, what right does Curling have in the Olympics?!??!?! Why is it on nonstop?!??!?!
Anyone else, share in this frustration?

You watching CNBC?? That's all that's been on there here in FL... But NBC has had good coverage of all those you mentioned above. I feel you on curling though! haha

WTF! Im hooked on curling. I love it!
I hear one of the only few curling venues in the US is in a suburb of Chicago.. Not sure if this is true, but I want to go!
You will see me in the next winter olympics representing USA, since they didnt do too hot this year. They got knocked out last night.
I have been mainly watching curling even though I intended to focus on the hockey tourny

I don't mind it, but you have to watch the other NBC networks if you can to see the other sports. They usually put curling on during other events or middle of the day when people should be working....maybe NBC is telling you not to slack by watching curling?

Yeah, NBC coverage has been abysmal. They didn't even air the US/Canada hockey game.
You can watch full replays of whole events, highlights, expert analysis, etc, here: Video - Exclusive Coverage | 2010 Winter Olympics | NBC Olympics

Why do I have a feeling we're going to watch the Gold medal men's hockey game in tape delay?

I think ABC needs to reclaim the Olympic coverage. How the hell did they loose the license to that???
I wanna see the agony of defeat!!!!
