Canada definitely did itself proud!

Well, except for that William Shatner thing.

Just a thought but maybe to add some more excitment to the summer games the Olympic committee should vote to include in-line roller derby as a sport. It makes more since than some of the icecapades events.

Great job Vancouver and Canada....you did yourselves proud!!!

absolutely outrageous, abominable horrible job by NBC on its coverage....showing the semifinal hockey match on tape delay so as to allow some rinky dink series to be shown in its normal time slot???

and then tonite to leave the olympic closing ceremony to show a half hour preview of an asinine, idiotic show with very little value....where are there heads at?...i understand prempting for local news, but that show??? i for one will never ever watch that show again, if for no other reason than out of protest...

Technically, the ceremonies were over. Did you want them to show another half-hour or so of people partying? You're right about The Marriage Ref, though. I lasted about 2 minutes before I had to change the channel. The studio audience was laughing at the stupidest sh!t, and it got annoying very quickly.
