Sorry, I wholeheartedly disagree on the coverage being terrible. I find CTV/TSN/SNET's combo coverage to be quite the opposite actually. It's absolutely terrific. I've seen virtually every hockey game and every event I've wanted to watch, which is pretty much all of them. Most of them LIVE.

NBC has some good interest pieces on the athletes but yes, their actual coverage is spotty. Once in a while you hit on something good but too often they're just recapping and showing results from events instead of the whole event live.
I think Hockey is the only thing they send live. I do not care about hockey, so I am clearly not getting any benefit from it.

Today I will try to NOT go on the internet at all during the day and then MAYBE tonight I will be able to watch some of the events (taped) without knowing the results.

Heh, whatever.....
