1. Quiet, I'm watching Belgium vs. North Korea mixed pairs handball
Seriously, it's great having more coverage. Mind numbing but great.

7. I'm boycotting the Olympics..
They used to be for the amateur athlete. Now, all I see is mostly professionals.

10. Must sheepishly admit:
I've seen nothing-- not even the opening ceremony (although I did tape it, just in case someone thought it was worth watching). The only coverage I get is NBC. Am I missing something? This sounds really bad, but the coverage of the last several olympics, favoring NOTHING but the American uber patriotic view, left me disgusted. As much as I'd like to acknowledge the efforts of all the world's amateur athletes, I find that aspect lacking. We no longer see any of the stories of the "underdogs" from tiny countries and their struggles-- just total focus on the Americans and their "enemy" rivals...
