Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Well, we are now over 1/2 hour into coverage of the opening ceremonies and so far not even one minute of the ceremonies has been shown. Not so good.
If you can get CBC, their coverage of Olympics is usually much better than NBC. NBC is too much fluff, not enough of the competition and is too US-centric IMO.
Started watching the coverage at its 7:30 start and it took 40 minutes to get to the ceremonies. I guess I prefer actual events to interviews telling me how great the the actual events will be. I did enjoy the ceremonies once they started showing them.
He gave two of these an A and one a D. My scorecard had the opposite grades as his. To each his own...On the bright side, these uniforms can double as bowling league outfits...
The Philippines look like they got their outfits last night at North Face...
Bros, the poofy jackets? Really?
We absolutely love the fact Ireland decided to take time away from its paintball game to walk around the stadium...
+1. I love watching the Olympics when they come around. I don't watch the opening or closing ceremonies (USA or any country), if something worthwhile happens, I'll see highlights. I want to see the competition, often in sports you never see outside the Olympics. Fun times...The Olympics cost a lot of money to stage, TV rights are their largest single source of revenue, and US broadcast rights the single biggest piece. It is a huge expense for NBC, so while I don't always enjoy their scheduling or unique way of programming, I'm pleased it's there to enjoy and willing to give NBC some space to do it their way.
I think the Olympic Games are a blast and make high definition worth the cost.

I've been watching the show. So far, it's all about Russia's history. It must be great for Russian audience but I thought Olympic is about world unity. Oops, I need to wake up and smell the coffee.
Can you get access to the CBC Sochi app in the US?

Ever since I moved to Washington many years ago, I watch Olympics and some other things primarily on CBC.If you can get CBC, their coverage of Olympics is usually much better than NBC. NBC is too much fluff, not enough of the competition and is too US-centric IMO.
