From Letterman's "Top Ten Surprising Facts Aboot Curling" last night:
"Every year, dozens of people watch."

You know, NBC is really pissing me off. It was getting late last night, so I saw Shaun White's first run at the half-pipe, but didn't stay up to watch the second. So here I am, searching the internet for a video of it, and every single one I find is pulled due to copyright infringement. They don't have it available on the NBC site. You would almost think NBC is trying to make these olympics as inaccessible as possible.

I normally enjoy the Winter Games but for some reason just can't seem to get interested in them this year.

Not that it will go anywhere, but I sent NBC a email telling them I thought their coverage was very poor and hoped ESPN gets the next contract. Why are we seeing time delayed sports for an Olympics in the same time zone as the US? To watch online you have to download M$ Silverlight and provide your cable TV account information to them, and that aint gonna happen. BUT, they cry and whine when people try to go around all the BS they setup up. I just want to click a link and watch a flash box show a sport in real time. Not hard to do for any 11th grader in high school.
