So I haven't seen a thread started yet. I know, I for one, am a HUGE fan of the Olympic Games. I've already DVR'ed the first week of events and watched the 4+ hour telecast yesterday.
Anybody have any thoughts so far?
The one that really sticks out in my mind was how NBC chose to open their telecast for the Games. I think it was in VERY poor taste to show that Georgian luger getting killed as the opening segment. I don't understand why they had to show the tape at all let alone in the first 2 minutes of the broadcast.
I have a feeling that they are getting flack for doing that b/c right now on TV Bob Costas just introduced a segment about the luger and assured us that they will not play the video now or anymore during the Games. THANK GOD!
On a good note.... I did enjoy the Opening Ceremonies. Lots of cool theatrics and music.
Looking forward to: Curling, Ice Dancing and the Bobsled.
