Boy Am I Glad I Don't Have To Watch The Olympics And All Those Commercials......

that's all the Olympics have turned out to be - another opportunity to sell us something. Because NBC won't air main events live and hold them off for prime time - after the winners have already been determined - all I have to do is go on the Internet and get the results. What a waste of money for all those sponsors. We're now able to watch the reruns of the CBS shows - because NBC won't air the events live and really make things exciting.

How stupid for NBC to spend all this money and then not let us see many of the events as they happen. I already know who won the Men's Downhill. I think that NBC will share the reruns with us tonight - but why watch now.

It's no wonder that Conan made fun of NBC and how much money they lost before the Olympics even began.

Remember how you used to be able to watch events all through the day. Those were the good old days.
