I guess what I'm trying to say is, just tune in to NBC.

Heh, you obviously haven't followed the criticism of NBC's coverage. They are showing a lot of events on tape delay including the snow boarding races so that the most "popular" sports will be in prime time each evening. I still enjoyed the snow boarding even knowing who was going to win, but I'll stay out of this thread until it is later in the evening for now on, as Canadian TV is of course doing a much better job of showing things live.
