Winter Olympics 2010

Toughy · 02-13-2010, 01:31 AM

I hate NBC..............hate them..........

Opening Ceremonies start at 730p my ass............I had to put up with an hour and a half of bullshit human interest blah blah blah before we got to see a taped version of the Opening Ceremonies. We are in the same time zone..........

I wish we could just get the events without all the commentary and stupid stories.........

I actually liked this Opening better than the Bejing opening............and guess what............as I am typing the taped version is still going on only now it's just the Olympic officials going blah blah blah........it's 1130p and the athletes and officials are really already in bed............

Why did they delay it for viewing on NBC for 3 hours? I'm in the same time zone for goodness sake! I also agree about too much commentary. Just let us watch it, NBC.

Aside from the mechanical malfunction, I thought the entire ceremony was amazing. I wanna go play with lights now!

Yes, I thought it was at 7:30PM my time Toughy. The way they announced it fooled me!

*Oh well, LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!!!!!

Thanks Diva for this thread! I'm very happy there is one. (YOU... are a sports fan...?

Well, if you don't like NBC, you could watch Canada's feed from CTV: http://www.ctvolympics.ca/tv-online-listings/index.html

I was trying to see if the CBC had a feed but can't find it. IMO, it sucks that CTV has it as they don't plan for the audience level online but perhaps that's just me.

cool clip about how each of the medals are an original design and a women's organization that was commissioned to design the victory bouquets

I love being Canadian, and I'm very proud of what a good job we did on the opening ceremonies last night

I missed the ceremonies last night and noticed on CBC's website that the national anthem was done differently. A lot of comments suggested it was "awful". Was it that bad?
